James Billington set up a spoof Twitter account as @mayorofstafford, picked up over 400 followers, attended the Alton Towers season opening in a fake mayoral chain, and upset a local politician, before anyone spotted that he wasn't the real mayor - who happens to be a woman.

The council were furious, but Billington is still tweeting.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
