    If so, is there a specific word for someone who collects keys in the same sort of way that a philatelist collects stamps?

    How are you fixed for beer?

    Hoping to pop through early Saturday evening if that's okay?

    Got plenty thanks

    Can't drink at the moment though, they've got me on post surgery antibiotics to keep the bugs at bay.

    I shall look forward to your company on Saturday though but don't even dare think about nicking any beer if my back's turned!

    Those little gum stickers wouldn't be able to hold a key in the book!

    Cracking question. Looked all over the place but can't find an answer. Worth contacting the OED?

    Fantastic!

    The question came about in conversation with a friend about another friend who always carries a huge bunch of keys with him.
