I saw him last week. He was in my local newsagents buying a copy of Heat. I said good morning to him but he just stared back at me

My mum says she met him in 1977 and he hasn't aged a bit.

Clive. I've seen this man. As the senior librarian at York Central Library, I had to ban him for defacing books. We caught him using a hand-held electronic 'eraser' device to remove whole paragraphs (and then add his own scribbles) from the biographies of HG Wells, Bodica, Tancred Norman, Xenocrates, Blaise Pascal and Margaret Thatcher (he scribbled "Nessie was here!" in the erased section). We haven't seen since but we have applied for an ASBO to legally ban him from all UK libraries.

I'm not sure it was him, because he had his back to me, but this strange guy was in the British Library Cosmology Section, skim-reading "definitive" works on the creation of the universe, and he kept tutting or laughing, or scribbling things in margins. He left (in a hurry) when a Librarian asked him for some identification.

Yes, I've seen him, or someone who looks like him! It's very strange though, he was in a photo my Dad keeps from his army days, he's a bit off in the background but it is clearly him. He's holding something, it looks like it was made of steel but I can't tell what it is as part of it is out of the picture. I don't think he was actually meant to be in that shot, from the way he's standing. He doesn't look like he was waiting to have his picture taken.

This might sound really strange, but he's the spitting image of the Best Man at my parents' wedding. I've got the photos to prove it - but that was over forty years ago.

This was the guy that came up to me in an internet cafe in Las Palmas last year. I had logged on to the Liverpool website to put up a birthday message for Anthony Wallenda, a mate of mine. "I wouln't do that if I were you," he said with this enormous grin on his face."There's no future in it at all!" "What?" I asked, "being mates with Anthony, or supporting Liverpool?" "Both. Disastrous."

I'm sure this is impossible, but the man in your photo bears an incredible resemblance to a photo I've got from my grandfather's days as a pilot in the American Army Air Corps during the First World War. In one of his letters home, he told of a strange Englishman who appeared on the base (in Foggia, Italy), somehow ingratiated himself with the CO, and then stole a Spad XIII. He was never seen again. This Englishman can be seen in the back row of a photograph my grandfather took of his fellow pilots. If you're interested, Clive, I can try to get hold of a scanner and send you a copy.

I saw someone who looked identical to this man in a photograph I was being shown at the Melbourne Immigration Museum today...it surely couldn't have been him, though, as the photo was taken in 1892 of a boat of Irish immigrants holding some kind of strange fish they had caught on their journey...

I'm pretty sure I saw him last week, he was standing at the enterence to the underground, I asked him if he was lost, but he just laughed and said 'I'm never lost, I just don't know where I'm going.' I left then. Weirdo.

Yes he bought a battery from me a few years ago for his new mobile phone. He was a very quiet chap.

He is the spit of a bloke that found our two kids when they went missing for a short while. This was near Castleton in the Peak District last summer. He seemed a simple soul but harmless. The kids were fine and he had obviously entertained them as they came back with silly stories about "lizard people".

We had a lot of trouble at the council, where I work, with some kind of industrial accident, which was all hushed up a few months ago. I swear this is the "independant consultant" that was called in. These guys think they can just walk all over our procedures. It's a nightmare, and as always the press just aren't interested for some reason.
