Standing in the queue for the
proms one early evening in 2000, I was handed this leaflet by a late-middle-aged man who conscientiously gave one to everybody in the line.
Perhaps it's some kind of hoax or prank; something makes me doubt that though.
So I assume that these are the genuine, if deluded, thoughts of this man.
I don't know exactly what to make of it; reading the last few sentences, though, I feel sorry for him. He obviously hasn't had the help he needed. It's certainly quite well-written; it seems that he's educated. He wasn't asking for money, nor apparently expecting anything in response to this hand-out.
Unfortunately I've no follow-up to this story. I'm aware that he also gave out the same leaflet to prommers on at least one other evening that year... but I haven't seen him at any of the proms I've been to in the summers since then.
