Radio Shropshire's Jim Hawkins caught up with him for the station's
Laughter Track programme.
In
2003, Morris quit his job ordering paperclips and left his mum and
her sister in the village of Moreton Say, near Market Drayton.
His
mission was to make his mark on the world, to right wrongs, to expose
the hidden conspiracies, to damp the fires of evil with my hose
of truth.
We
heard about his mission at the 大象传媒 Shropshire website, and asked
him to keep us up with his adventures as he travelled the world
and spread his message.
His
travels have taken him all over the world, from the USA to Europe,
Australia and the Far East.
Along
the way he's been locked up by the CIA, taken on Country Life magazine,
had a brush with the gun lobby and toured the Australian Outback
with a female Beatles tribute band.
But
they ditched him when they discovered he wasn't really Ray Mears'
brother.
In
Shanghai he became a one man death machine, before converting a
group of Shaolin monks to the Shropshire Way - his philosophy, not
the long-distance footpath.
And
in the town of Lost Hope, Alaska (pop. 34), he was lucky to escape
with his life after falling foul of the local 'pope'.

But
he still misses his native Moreton Say, a village he describes as
'the garden of Eden of Shropshire'. And he claims most of the population
of the world agrees.
"Most
of the people I meet want deep down to live in Shropshire,"
he told Jim Hawkins.
"Not
all of them admit it. Not all of them tell me that, but I can tell
by the crying in their eyes that they do want to live in Shropshire.
"Shropshire
has, per square metre more happy people than anywhere else on earth."
Quite.
Morris
returned to Shropshire after being told of the untimely death of
his mother. Except she'd really faked her death in order to get
him to come back.
Still,
he's not short of anything to do while he's here. His mum dutifully
video recorded every single episode of Countdown while he was away.
So right
now he's busy on a 185 hour Countdown marathon. |
