I have an expansive collection of toilet seat hinges.

I started collecting them after a narrow escape when a toilet seat hinge failed one day leaving me with embarrassing bruises.

I became absolutely fascinated by their design and working, and now have more than 51,267 individual examples of this hugely underated aid to our everyday living experience.

Oh yes of course, we never clean them in order to maintain their authenticity. We get them out once a year and admire them.

I used to buy more when we were flush but things went down the pan after we moved here

I did toy with the idea of collecting toast crusts, it was a futile effort to be honest as the mere sight of a toast crust sends me into a wild panic about my possible wheat intolerance, but luckily I have made it through that particular issue and have found that collecting unknown toe nail cuttings is tremendously rewarding.

As you have so many it obviously wasn't a flash in the pan, do you splash out much on them?

Did they in-cistern you doing a bit then? If you're running out of space for your collection I know of a couple of places that are toilet at good rates.

You three are like a bunch of naughty schoolboys...............but you really make me chuckle sometimes

Getting back to the question in hand (heaven forbid! )
I collect bookmarks. I have them from all over the world; places that I have visited or that people have brought back for me from various trips.
They're made from all kinds of different materials.
Blimey, I sound like a right dork!

Anyway, they're all in albums................and I like to get them out and touch them occasionally

Not true, of course - just joining in with the schooboy humour before I go to bed
I haven't even glanced at them for about 10 years!! They were in the loft, and for some bizarre reason I saw fit to keep them despite our move here.
There's no accounting for some folks!
