Eccentrics
We 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 Accordian Guy (St Albans)
There's a guy in St Albans who must be at least 70, and every Saturday he stands outside a road in St Albans and plays the accordian (very well) for the entertainment of small children.
He always wears a stripey french-style jersey and a beret. He also has an original "Humpty Dumpty" from Playschool (if anyone remembers THAT from the early 80s) attached to the front of his box. Mrs Overlord remembers him singing "Happy Birthday" to her on her fifth birthday, and he's still going strong.
He's there in all weathers, and neither hail nor flood nor gloom of night shall stop him.
Apparently he has a group of admirers on Facebook, and I can see why. He's one of the very few people who make the world a bit more cheerful, and for that he deserves nothing but praise.
