Talking of followers of L-Ron, we should put in a mention for Dr Crippen's piece on "Professor" Keith Scott-Mumby, Internet alternative physician, scientologist, self-styled Professor and former everyone-has-an-allergy Manchester GP?

One of the stallholders said LRH was not dead he had just left his body to “do research”.

Some people claim that after a drinking bender. Likewise believing in aliens.

As for setting up the stall, I don’t know if that was optimism or bravura.

I, too, like the toothiologist analogy.

You have to love a man who wants to round homeopaths, psychics and nutritionists up, put them in a bag and hit them with sticks. Count me in for that.

I was amused to notice a stand offering “Free stress tests” down the road from the venue. I’m fairly sure sceptics and atheists would not be interested in LRH’s Scientology mumbojumbo. I was tempted to have a go but thought I might get sucked in and end up believing in aliens. One of the stallholders said LRH was not dead he had just left his body to “do research”
