CHECK OUT THE UK’S WACKIEST ATTRACTION­S

-

We are happy to help raise awareness in the hope no other family has to go through the torment Lois and Benik had to endure.

He says using celebrity to push in expensive monthly membership­s needs tighter regulation. We agree.

Have some bite-sized fun by checking out this normal terraced house in Headington, Oxford, with a huge sculpture of a shark stuck in the roof.

Other unusual art installati­ons include the huge Vimto monument in Granby Row, Manchester dedicated to the drink.

Walk the UFO trail in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, near an air base that was the scene of a series of mysterious sightings in 1980.

There’s also the Museum of Classic Sci-Fi in Allendale, Northumber­land, featuring props from shows like Doctor Who (museumofcl­assicsci-fi.com).

Slope off with the family to one of Britain’s oddest boozers, The Crooked House in Dudley, West Mids. It leans four times as much as the Tower of Pisa (thecrooked­house.co.uk).

Check out the surreal Upside Down House on Brighton seafront and walk on the ceiling, (upsidedown­house. co.uk). Quay House, Conwy, is also worth a visit – the UK’s smallest home, it’s just 10x6ft.

There are several formerly secret nuclear bunkers, designed to be used in the event of World War Three, that you can visit including one at Hack Green, near Nantwich, Cheshire (hackgreen.co.uk).

Fancy a Sunday drive? The UK’s offical best roundabout – complete with four giant wooden hedgehogs – is in Truro, Cornwall. The first roundabout, dating from 1909, can be seen in Letchworth, Herts.
