How long have you been collecting Steve?
About 10 years.
What made you start collecting Guinness memorabilia?
I won a Guinness tie in a quiz!!
What is the popularity of Guinness where you live?
Surprisingly, it doesn't appear to be that popular in my area.
Do you have contact with other collectors of Guinntiques?
Yes, my best friend is an avid Guinness drinker and collector also.
Describe your local pub details and nightlife.
My local is a man's 'football clientelle' type pub where wives and girlfriends are rarely tolerated until late on Saturday nights!!
Are Guinness promotions run in these establishments?
Very, very rarely. The landlord is a bit of a 'stick in the mud'.
Please describe your own collection.
I have a small spare bedroom that is totally covered with Guinness memorabilia. Not anything really expensive like the Carlton Ware stuff, but pins, pens, glasses (including my pride and joy - a two pint glass). Also ashtrays, beermats, posters, bartowels and a blown-up Guinness armchair!!
Thanks very much Steve.
