Arguably, no one does eccentric and weird behaviour better than us Englishmen. Ben and Peter, from the new wave of English eccentrics, look back on some of the original pioneers. We have stories of bizarre bets from the 1800s, a vicar that howled at the moon dressed as a mermaid, a man who would only go for a walk with two large rocks on his head, and the fashion trend in the 18th century to have a real life hermit living in your garden.
