Local man Jeremy Philips has taken a major step to become the first man he knows in their 20s to buy a second set of bed sheets.

This comes as Jeremy was walking through the shops and on a whim decided to pick up a second set of the exact same sheets he already has, which are the cheapest ones he can buy in his area.
