| A picture showing the with 12 fingers |
UNITED KINGDOM: Born with 12 fingers, he rattles out more than 100 words a minute.
But Vijay Singh, who also has 12 toes, is planning a move to Britain after he failed to get a job typing despite applying for 50 jobs.
The 48-year-old, from Agra in northern India, said: ‘They want pretty women, not some guy who has 12 fingers.’
Polydactyly sufferers are seen as lucky in India, with Mr Singh especially fortunate as he is able to use all his digits whereas most sufferers of the condition are not.
But despite this gift, which makes him a self-proclaimed ‘whizz on the computer’, he has yet to secure employment and now wants to travel to the UK in the hope there will be something for him here.
