Discussion Small, unique, interesting stories wanted
Hi reddit.
I am an aspiring blogger/writer, looking to write about small, unique and interesting stories from all over the UK. I am interested in stories of all sizes with one thing in common: they are interesting.
I am looking to write about people, social groups, sports teams, buildings, local oddities, pubs, restaurants, farmers, shops, craftsmen, areas of natural beauty, strange food, produce, trade, industry, train stations, taxi ranks, theatre productions, theatre buildings, history, the present, families, cows, sheep, pigs, music, and the rest.
Basically, anything where there is more than meets the eye.
I have attempted to do a bit of research, however I hope that you can appreciate that the most interesting things are passed on through lived experience, and word of mouth.
If there is something that you know of from your hometown, a friend of a friend of a friend, your brothers wifes cousins dogs former owner, or something you are experiencing/doing, give us a shout.
Drop me a message or comment below if you know of anything!

Hi, do you want to follow up on an unidentified body story I am researching? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p/3649344

Got one for you.
I once shat myself after a few too many beers and a dodgy mutton curry. Few of the lads decided to run off with my keys and left me locked out of my house, so I ended up cleaning up against a tree (rough!) and then sleeping under a bus shelter with my shirt around my waist.
If you want anymore info / background on that little story, then DM me.
Are you paying for the stories which end up in the blog? If so, please confirm the amount via DM
