Banana man seeks same

Banana man seeking sticker buddy

A Sydney man who collects banana stickers is on a national search for a fellow Australian who shares his passion.

Robert "Hank" Atkins has collected more than 400 of the little labels found on bananas sold in supermarkets.

He stores them in an album and records the place he bought it from and the date of purchase.

Mr Atkins says he has been collecting for six years but is yet to find another Australian he can trade with.

"At the moment I trade labels with three people in America, one in England and one in Czechoslovakia," he said.

"But I'm hoping to find someone in Australia because there must be labels here that I haven't got that are Australian."

<stands up> Confession time. Once upon a time, I too was a sticker collector. Not just bananas mind you, but every fruit or veggie that we brought into the house with a little sticker on it, well lets just say that the inside of one of my cabinet doors was a collage of fruit and veggie stickers. I wonder if the ex's new wife ever removed them. hmmmm.

I bet she couldn't go on the honeymoon before they were gone!!!! My Mum and Dad went through a stage of doing the same with apple stickers, just after Dad retired...I put it down to boredom.
