My OH does the same especially in National Trust properties - I pretend he is not with me. 

My mum used to do this all the time. She always had some small plastic bags in her bag and whenever we went to any stately home as kids, she always come back with some cuttings.

The marigolds were an amazing stripy colour I hadn't seen before

Paul O'Grady's mum used to do this apparently. I have just read one of his autobiographies, side achingly funny.

If all you lot have done it then so will I, I bet I get seen.

[Aunt Sally]

I've not done it
