Bottle banker Steve Wheeler, 66, from Malvern in Worcestershire, who has spent 30 years collecting more than 20,000 milk bottles features as Mr April. He found his first bottle in the mid-1980s and now Steve, who admits he doesn't even like milk, houses them in an 80ft museum in his garden. 'I'm Mr April as this is the month I give the bottles their annual Spring clean,' he said. 'I've met some of the other people in the calendar and I think we are all the exact opposite of dull. It's just that we don't do the sport thing, we are individuals and not team players. I have people come to visit my collection from all over the world and I'm about to expand my museum by another 24 feet.' |
“四月”先生是一位瓶子收藏家。现年66岁的史蒂夫·惠勒(Steve Wheeler)来自乌斯特郡的莫尔文镇(Malvern)。30年来,他收集了2万多个牛奶瓶。20世纪80年代中期他收集到第一个瓶子,现在他利用庭园内一座80英尺的博物馆来收纳这些牛奶瓶。史蒂夫承认其实他并不喜欢喝牛奶。史蒂夫称,“我是‘四月’先生,因为这个月我要给这些瓶子来个年度春季大扫除。我认识一些这款日历上的人,我觉得我们与沉闷无趣截然相反。我们只是不从事运动事宜,我们是独立的个体而非团队合作的成员。世界各地的人们都前来参观我的收藏,我打算把我的博物馆再扩建24英尺。” |
