This from Wikipedia. I'm sure many of you have heard of this, but the
only Sealand I've stumbled across is a shipping company. This whole
thing seems like something made up from whole cloth, but seems to have
real documentation behind it.

There was a programme including an interview with the son on BBC Radio4
a couple of months ago. It got treated more as an eccentricity than
anything to be taken seriously - though I believe they have had to
defend themselves against attack.

Also Paddy Roy Bates has just died. There was an obituary on BBC Radio
4's Last Word programme last week.
