Join Malcolm Boyden as he takes you on a magical tour through the wacky West Midlands – as seen through the eyes of the weird and wonderful.
Originally written as a weekly series for the Sunday Mercury – Malcolm uncovers some of the region’s finest characters … from Hoover blowing housewives to Subbuteo streakers.
Prepare for the journey of a lifetime as the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary folk of the Midlands tell their remarkable stories.
There is the tale of the man who lives on bacon butties alone and the football fan that has missed only five matches in 60 years. Find out about the world’s biggest bus collection and the psychic that talks to Hitler.
There is everything and everybody – from the world’s oldest tea chest player, to David Beckham’s sausage … not to mention the ferrets, faggots – and Elvis!
