My passion for tacky fridge magnets

Have I ever told you that I collect tacky fridge magnets? Probably not, ‘cos it’s not something most people would want to boast about. But I do, the tackier the better. That said, all fridge magnets are tacky so it’s not hard.

This week has been particularly fruitful in the fridge magnet stakes, bagging three of the not so precious items – from Mauritius, New York and Portugal. Excellent work, Smithers.

I have quite a collection now, my favourites being a Cornish pasty from Cornwall, which actually looks more like a dead turkey; a fetching wooden shield type thing from Prague;  a snow globe magnet from the French Alps boasting a picture of a husky dog; and a paella dish from Spain. Classics.
