Sir Paul McCartney has been an avid garbage picker for years. "I'm the kind of guy who doesn't like to see things in skips. I go past a skip and I'll say, 'I could use that. That's a cupboard, that's a nice bit of wood.' I'll see a rubbish heap and see an odd bit of a bicycle or something and think, 'Picasso's Bull's Head'. I'll think, 'Interesting shape that,' because he used the bike seat didn't he. Only last night I saw some stuff in a skip and had to be pulled away." [GT]
