The Independent on Sunday’s 【76】(industry) editor, David Bowen, collects airline sick-bags. He started about 10 years ago when he used to travel【77】(extensive), but now the【78】(collect) has its own momentum. "I get sent several bags a month," he says. "All my friends know that I collect these things, and they mention it to their friends. Then when any of them go on flights, they stare ahead of them for hours on end and【79】(soon) or later remember to pick one up. "
He now has about 400 bags【80】(cover) about 200 airlines: they are displayed all over the walls of his house. He asks people to pick up a couple so that he has one to swap although, he says, "There is a slightly【81】(limit) market: my only real trading partner is a German who I met in Jordan eight years ago. "
The bags, Bowen says, say a lot about the country of origin. Far Eastern ones tend to be lavish and exotic. Germanic ones are severely【82】(practice) , eastern European ones reflect "the【83】(short) of decent paper".
Bowen is keen to hear from anyone who wants to join the bag【84】(barter) system. The hobby is not sufficiently developed to have monetary value【85】(attach) to it, but the swap system should work well. "Mind you, if someone came up with a pre-War bag, possibly from Imperial Airways, I would very seriously think about letting them have several pounds for it, maybe even an Air Afrique one, too. "
