By Julian Robinson A pensioner has hit out at the NHS for 'allowing' his leg to balloon to an enormous two-and-a-half stone. Michael Cull, from Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire, can hardly walk because of the weight of the massive limb, which is almost two foot wider than his right leg - and is getting bigger every day. The 66-year-old former Nasa computer technician is thought to be the only person in Scotland to suffer from elephantiasis - a disease found mainly in the tropics. His left leg is so wide he needs to have trousers specially made for him, his shoes only last a fortnight because the soles wear out, and every time he steps outside he is called names like 'Elephant Man'.
