Infos

Britain is universally agreed upon to be the most bonkers nation in the world. What other country could come up with a game as ridiculous as cricket, a Bureau of Extreme Ironing, and renowned flatulist Mr. Methane of Macclesfield? A place so supremely bonkers that two residents can live in a Travelodge for 22 years. Tea shops, garden gnomes, crazy architectural follies, weird chalkmen hacked into hillsides, Colman's mustard, Morris dancers, milestone appreciation societies, the Britannia Coco-nutters of Bacup; the list could be endless but for Tom Cutler who casts his sharp eye across British eccentricity and with the help of the public, distills it down to 100 people, places, or things. Arranged in descending order from 100 to 1, this guise will reveal the nation's most bonkers person, place, or thing. Will it be Mr. William Lyttle, aka The Human Mole who has been burrowing under his street since 1963, or perhaps the Pilchard museum? There is only one way to find out.

Autor

Tom has written two acclaimed song books for children and his original ditty 'Pigs on Holiday' has been performed live, with actions, by Martin McGuinness of Sinn Fein. He is a practising magician and member of the Magic Circle and in his spare time enjoys murdering Bach on the guitar.
