A statistic that cropped up in another topic yielded the fact that a large proportion of the population regarded Railway Modellers as "odd".

This got me thinking (not good on a Saturday morning !) about other hobbies that we may see as odd.

So, let's have a light hearted look at some other hobbies (some of us here may even "indulge").

I'll start off with one of mine ;
Fire Preservation - I have 1 preserved fully operational 35 year old Landrover Fire Engine. I also have a 20 year old Dodge Fire engine fully operational & working for a living.

A couple of others :
The Pill Box Society (they have an interest in the Pill Boxes left over from WWII, mostly on the south & eastern coasts (a friend of mine is a member).
Morris Men (no comment).

Anyone care to add and/or comment to the list ?

I must find the time to get some pic's up on my blog - the Land Rover is due for a minor makeover for the show season so will probably post the pics then.

Be interesting to see some pics of your Gypsy - BTW - are you OK for the relevant kit for the vehicle ?

Keep Fit (AKA going to the Gym) - don't quite see the point of running or cycling & going no-where, & why bother moving heavy things around that don't need to be moved ?

I was going to mention Radio Hams, but then as I happened to be a CB'er in the 80's have no room to talk - 10/10.
