Drivers have been left confused by a man who regularly stands by the side of a busy road waving at cars with a paper bag over his head.

The mystery man was snapped at the side of the A37 on Saturday afternoon near the village of Farrington Gurney, Somerset.

He appears to be wearing a blue jacket and trousers, as well as a brown bag on his head with holes cut for the eyes.

The bizarre scene was photographed by one passerby, who said she thought it was "hilarious".

Many others also commented on the man after seeing his picture online.

"Good for him - I wouldn't have the guts to do it myself."

Amanda also posted the image on a local Facebook group - where it was met with a mixed reaction.

One person added: "Someone has to have a sense of humour, 2020 needs one."
