Leicester's strong man:  Manjit Singh

pfft , pulling routemaster  buses along with hooks through your nipples and stuff like that  is a piece of pish  .

 

Does anyone else remember "Poundnote Polly" that used to walk around town with a bag full of teddy bears and wads of cash in her mitts ?

Well she deserves a green plaque in her honour.
