People collect a lot of objects: posters, stamps, dolls. Some people collect objects which are connected with

historical events or with famous people. But one of the strangest collections is that of eggcups. Kevin Murphy

in Yorkshire has 10,000 of them. Not surprisingly, his favourite eggcup is one in the shape of a typical

Yorkshire man.

Kevin’s hobby began seven years ago, after he lent an elephant eggcup to a granddaughter who took such a

liking to it that she insisted on keeping it. Kevin saw a few eggcups he liked at a sale at a local shop, and started

collecting them. Others like Kevin’s eggcups too. “I have just bought a replacement for one of my favourites,

which mysteriously disappeared last week,” he said.
