Who is the Piano Man?
 

I'm sure that most of you by now will have read or seen pictures of this mystery man who turned up in Kent about 4 weeks ago. If you've not heard of him, do a google.

Currently held in a mental institution, there are no clues to his identity. Clothing labels had been removed, and he refuses to speak. He is, however, a brilliant pianist to concert level and he has an ability to draw. No one seems to know who he is or where he is from.

My own belief is that this guy is a final year arts student, probably from somewhere like Leeds, and this is his attempt to get a first class degree in conceptual art or whatever the current terminology is for this rubbish.

There are other theories, of course; I've outlined a few, so lets have a vote, and give your reasons. Lets see who gets it right.

Why would he be wandering around in a soaking wet suit?

According to news reports, he is french, and information has been passed through Interpol from a Polish chap in Rome.

That's pretty much all I have heard


but I voted for me anyway!!!

My theory is that he is a asylum seeker and by not talking to anyone he gets to stay in this country til they find out who he is and where he is from.
