Makes a kind of sense actually. You start off with four suits and two shirts on six coat hangers. Send the suits for cleaning and you've got ten. Leave it a couple of weeks and other coat hangers mysteriously appear - never seen them breeding but in a year or so you can't walk across the bedroom without tripping over the things that are spilling out of the wardrobe and taking over the floor. That's my experience, anyway. (Don't know if this phenomenon is linked to my wife's "I've had this for ages in the back of the wardrobe" comments about outfits that look suspiciously new! Sounds like the LBS guy has the same problem with a proliferation of old bikes!!!
