9. Traffic cones galore
If David Morgan was to start collecting something, it would make sense that it would be traffic cones seeing that he is one of the sales directors of a plastics company.
Oxford Plastic Systems, where Morgan works is the world’s biggest cone producer. His collection started by chance while battling a competing company in court over a cone’s design. When he set out to prove that the design existed before, he was intrigued with the different models that existed out there.
This little excursion ended up getting him the spot for largest road cone collection worldwide in the Guinness Book Of Records. He has around 500 of them and no intention to stop searching. Personally, I would be bothered by all those cones in my yard but fortunately he has an understanding family, his daughter sometimes even joins in on his search!
