PENSIONER’S 100K MILK BOTTLE COLLECTION

FOR someone who hates milk, pensioner Steve Wheeler has got an udder-lot of it - nearly 20,000 bottles in fact. He has been collecting glass milk bottles for 30-years even though he can’t stand the stuff. The impressive collection is so big he has six sheds in his garden to store them all in - dubbed the ‘milk museum’. Steve has travelled thousands of miles around the world to the build up his bizarre collection, which is worth around £100,000. It includes more than 17,000 British bottles and 2,500 from overseas which he has scavenged from farms, hills and everywhere imaginable
