Carpenter launched bid to make old lamp the most famous in the world by getting everybody to sign it

A wacky carpenter has launched a zany bid to make an old lamp the most famous lamp in the world - by getting everybody he meets to sign it.

Lee Zitouni was on a night out with friends when he spotted the 'sad looking lamp' in the rubbish, ready for the bin man to collect the next morning. The group decided to take the unloved piece of furniture with them on their nine-mile journey home and got everybody on the entire train to sign it, including the ticket officer, from Hove to Worthing, in Sussex.
