      Churchillian appearance of Metro's Benjamin Burke has stunned hundreds of people. The carbon copy of the late Sir Winston has been stopped many times by strangers who took him for the real thing. The reaction has often been 'You must be his brother!'

A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.
