'These bags are selling online for between £10 and £30, so it's my son's inheritance'
Angela Clarke says she started her bag collection 40 years ago with the 1960s Tesco paper bag and has gone on to collect many more 'commemorative' and 'unusual' bags.
Angela told 5 Live's Tony Livesey that she has bags from the Twin Towers in New York, along with now-defunct shops such as Woolworths and Allders. Now she wants more bags from the Olympics and the upcoming Jubilee.
She went on to discuss how she was storing the bags 'in [her] husband's factory', as the collection is too big to fit in the house – and how they’d even managed to 'survive a house fire'.
Angela said she is 'worried about using the bags', as they are 'worth a lot of money', with some of them going for between £10 and £30… so with 10,000 bags - 'it’s my son's inheritance', she said.
