Less folkie, but still bizarre, pursuits that were covered include pea-shooting championships and chicken racing. |

When we heard it was going to be about eccentrics, we groaned and thought it probably wouldn't be worth watching. We now find we're of the sort that they find eccentric! Ah well, we should have known... Barbara |
