First off I apologise for referring to the man as 'Purple' as he considers it racist, I only do so because that is how he his widely known as.

I've no idea why 'Mr' Aki is some how vaguely related to BWFC folklore but he is and thus why I highlight his story, prominently feature today by the BBC on the link below.

Quite a long and involved article - a great deal of work as obviously gone into the piece and its presentation.

A sort of sad and tragic story in which a young man dies.

After reading it I still don't know what to really make of it all - a life wasted (two with the death of the youth), or a harmless man with an odd fetish, who society punished without attempting to help?

See what you can make of it all -

Utterly bizarre.
it said he had been in Bolton as well.
Nat's constantly looking for the right bloke for her/him.
Perhaps this is the man!!

Did anybody see that episode of The Undatables featuring the black fella who wasn't a full shilling?

He was a body builder who was obsessed with measuring people's bodies.

He asked his date if he could measure her shoulders with his tape measure during their meal.

Very bizarre.

I'm not saying the two are linked but there are a few similarities.

Perhaps it's a condition in its own right?

We have a Purple Ronnie on the base. Only called that as he posts stupid notes and memos all over the place. Nobody knows who it is but a couple of cards appeared about Purple Ronnie.
