A man with a quirky obsession with dustbins has scooped the top annual award for people with dull hobbies. David Clark - nicknamed Dustbin Dave - has been awarded the 'Anorak of the Year' for his passion for photographing the nation's dustbins.
Dave, 52, has collected more than 10,000 dustbins photos in the last four years and hit the headlines last year when his bizarre interest first became publicly known. The handyman has now been honoured with the top prize from the Dull Men's Club, acknowledging Dave's extraordinary interest in the ordinary and mundane.
Dave said: "I was very honoured to receive the award, with the Dull Men's Club celebrating the ordinary things in life. They talk about various hobbies and it's really interesting, it's like taking a step back from the business of life to notice the things around you."
