my first experience of weird
On a warm summers afternoon waiting on West Ewell station for a train to Guildford I was just relaxing watching the world go by and watching the trains come and go (no I was not a trainspotter).
When a train pulled into the opposite platform my attention was taken by the length of time it was in the station and by the high level of noise, when the train pulled out I was greeted by the spectacle of about 50 guys in 1st Century Roman Legionaries uniform complete with swords and shields (no spears probably a bit tricky getting them on the train).
They were lined up in pairs and were matching off the platform, to this day I still wonder.
Another odd one was back in 1968 I was coming back across Parliament Hill to Hampstead at about 5am on Sunday morning when I saw a guy walking what appeared to be a fully grown leopard with a collar and lead, he even said good morning to me? I know I wasn't dreaming my mate saw it as well.

I can well believe the Leopard story. It used to be legal to own them here then. "Christian the lion" is a good story about 2 guys who brought a lion for their flat on the kings road. Around here particularly and the rest of the UK to some extent, there are (alleged) to be big cats living in the wild. Panthers especially.

weird
I know it was legal before I think 1972 but when you are half pissed and semi stoned you do begin to doubt yourself a bit :-)
