The 12 dullest men in Great Britain are featured in a new calendar. The Dull Men's Club has more than 5,000 male members, who are passionate about everyday mundane things, which others think are dull. Leland Carlson, assistant vice-president of the Club, decided to publish the calendar to celebrate the eccentricities of its dullest members. "We wanted to have a bit of fun. The British are well known for being eccentric and this calendar is a celebration of that," he said. The year begins with Kevin Beresford, from Redditch in Worcestershire, who is president of the UK Roundabout Appreciation Society, which he founded 11 years ago. Kevin, 62, spends his weekends travelling around the country photographing roundabouts and turning his pictures into books and calendars. |
