I have a fettish (and before you jump on that word...which is acceptable for other than the feeble minded) for model buses.
I collect all models of buses from the old Bedford OB (Fred Kirkham had one) to all the new ones. Ribblesdale Batty Holt and Robinsons from Great Harwood are also featured in my collection, Blackburn Transport,Hyndburn,Burnley-Colne and Nelson,Ribble,Scout and Standerwick,Pendle Bus and Todmorden.
Does anyone else collect anything like this?

i collect other peoples children, yeah i do give them back but thats not the point :D;)
 
No but I've got some rossendale area bus and tram photos.
I collect web sites, christmas lights, colour box teddys, piggins, lots of books, erm...
 
My dad used to collect these mini buses and vans, He had easily 80 of them when he passed away. I don't know what happened to them.
 
I collect stuffed toys ... with the emphasis on teddy bears ... My less tender self collects commemorative Winchester 94s.
 
I used to collect rubbers when i was at school,(dont ask:rolleyes:) had loads of em, come to think of it, i havent a clue where they went!!

oh and before anyone gets the wrong idea i meant erasers:rolleyes:..:p
 
Ive been through phases of collecting all sorts of different things at different times but dont collect anything now ive got my own house because I hate clutter, its bad enough with the boys toys and their thomas collection (but in saying that I do have a half decent dvd collection so I guess that counts :rolleyes:)
 
Clutter is bad for Feng Shui - hinders circulation of chi
Feng shui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have lots of crystals and windchimes which clutter things up :D
but I dont regard them as clutter because I consider they have 'purpose'.
I dont have ornaments which don't have some use - no pot dogs :eek:
but several cut glass decanters ;)

3 out of 5 are in use - 2 for filtered water and 1 for a herbal infusion.
I find that booze keeps better in the bottles it came in.
The 2 empty ones on my window sill 'make rainbows' = useful

In fact Rawtenstall and Haslingden corporation motors where started in the same year - 1907, so if corgi can do rawtenstall then they can do haslingden as well.

They used to sell the models of the buses at the bus depot - in the old colours. Now i dont know if they still sell them now though.
