QUIRKY WORLD... ‘Gimp Man’ a latex clad charity fundraiser

The Gimp Man of Essex gives £1 (about €1.30) to Colchester Mind every time someone posts a photo with him to his Facebook page, which has over 2,000 likes.

He said most people he meets on the streets are friendly, but others make assumptions that he is “a paedophile or a pervert”. So far he has raised £375.
