Dear Auntie bedlington.co.uk, I am worried about my partner. He is obsessed with scalextric cars and paraphernalia. He has a scalextric room with the biggest private track I've ever heard about and about 500 boxed and unused cars on the shelves. That's not counting the cars he uses on the tracks and the 100's of little people in the crowds and grandstands around the track. He's even got little stands and little coke machines and little accidents with little paramedics, little fire engines and stuff. I used to think the problem was contained but now the study has turned into a scalextric workshop and there is no free space to do any real work. My biggest problem is that the dining table has now got scalextric stuff all over it, and quite frankly, I want to dust it. I've even tried inviting his mother over for a meal to see if we could move the stuff but we ended up eating in the kitchen. Quite frequently, scalextric cars appear on the stairs, in the downstairs toilet and in the bedroom. In the utility room, there is spray paint on the washing machine where he's been spraying them. I don't mind the odd obsession, I myself have quite a few handbags - however, is this normal? do any of you have problem partners?
