While writing a previous post, I was watching a TV programme about Coronation Street. They were interviewing a guy who collects Coronation Street memorabilia (presumably when he isn't standing on windy train platforms jotting down the engine numbers of trains as they speed by). He has visited the set 80-90 times in his life, and takes great pride in the fact he regularly steals props from the set as he walks around. He has stolen a cobble from the street, some cladding from a house and a washing line which a character died beside!!
As if theft wasn't enough, he regularly spends upwards of £90 in the gift shop!
