Couple collect 200 novelty nutcrackers in eight years

Nutcrackers are normally only a Christmas accessory. But one couple have amassed more than 200 of them after they began collecting them eight years ago. Carol Northover, 60, and husband Robert, 68, have three China cabinets full of them. Classroom assistant Carol, from Chilthorne, Domer, near Yeovil, Somerset, said: 'We bore our friends rigid. We see their eyes glazing over. Our daughters think we are barmy.' Their collection includes nutcrackers dating back to the 18th century and are made from wood, metal, silver and plastic.
