EccentricsWe all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

The buskerThere used to be a guy in Hull who would play the accordion on Monument Bridge. An odd instrument for a busker, but he could get a decent tune out of it. He was obviously appreciated because his accordion case always had a fair amount of coins in it.
The oddest thing, he was blind. He also wore the sort of jumpers that only a blind person who dresses themselves would wear.
Actually, I suppose the oddest thing was that he looked like a cross between Jocky Wilson and Fred West.
In the week before christmas, he would be wearing a Santa outfit and play christmas carols.
After a while, for christ knows what reason, he swapped his accordion for a Casio keyboard of the cheaper variety.
He couldn't play the keyboard.
