I just saw an article on the Beeb (here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/6647855.stm) & here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/blast/2004/jonathan/willard_wigan/willard_wigan.shtml)) about this guy Willard Wigan (http://www.willard-wigan.com/)!

Good god this man has a lot of patience, skill and money now as well.
