 | Hamburg collector Oliver Conradi has gone public with his bagnumbers - in the German tabloid newspaper Bild. Oliver featured in a story about Hamburg airport, along with brusque credit-card promoters and hidden railway signage. Oliver's most recent bagnumbers? 5792 bags from 1399 airlines, collected over 30 years. According to Bild, That's more than Niek Vermeulen, the current Guinness record holder. Oliver is now 45, says the Bild journalist. A bit of mental arithmetic tells us that he must have started collecting bags at the impressionable age of 15. If you have teenage children, perhaps it's time to warn them now about the dangers of baggery. That is, if you don't want to learn of their exploits from the inside pages of a sensationalist tabloid rag. |
