A SWINDON tyre fitter who has grown to 6ft 7ins on a diet of jam sandwiches has been mentioned by Britain's leading journal of strange phenomena.
It was in June that the Adver told the story of Steve Hemmins of Park South. He gets through seven loaves and 3lbs of jam per week.
Now the Fortean Times has devoted a story to him.
The magazine also mentioned 6ft 1in teenager Craig Flatman from Suffolk, who also has a jam-based diet.
Craig has reached 6ft1in and is still growing.
