A man who posted himself back to the UK from Australia in the 1960s has revealed he took a load of laxatives to stop his box overflowing with waste during his five-day journey.
Brian Robson, 76, originally from Wales, moved to Australia when he was 19-years-old and worked for Victorian Railways in the 1960s.
But, tiring of life down under, Brian hatched upon a plan to return himself to the UK in 1965 in extremely desperate circumstances.
Realising that a train ticket would be £700, which was unaffordable on his monthly salary of just £40, Brian hatched upon a plan to seal himself in a wooden crate and travel from Australia....
No Shit...

"He took laxatives to STOP himself from shitting?  "
Because Australia is the other side of the world they have the opposite effect. Once he passed the equator though there was a hell of a mess.  |
