Fandom had been a problem, since Helena, mother of Constantine did the holy holiday and snarfed up all the bits of wood and thorn she could.

It is a serious problem. Residents of Abbey Road in St Johns Wood, London feel your pain. As do the guys shovelling coins out of the trevi fountain. Greyfriars Bobby edinburgh is at risk of losing his nose. Countless other good luck rubs exist worldwide obliterating statues, carvings. Oscar Wilde's tomb in Pere Lachaise cemetery now has protective plastic over the pediment to stop lipstick stains growing even worse.
