The message from "OG" contains these words:

It's 'cos I've the sort of skin that allows dirt to get really really ingrained so that no amount of scrubbing will remove all the grime. So I wear gloves for even simple jobs.

The message from "OG" contains these words:

Ah, yes, good point. I've a triangle, First Aid kit and two reflective vests in the side bin.

oh yeah, and a rubber gimp suit, forgot that one.

The message from Johannes contains these words:

What you got?

Rigid tow bar. Small tool kit. Emergency phone battery pack.

Maglite solitaire and swiss army knife on keyring.

Nothing apart from standard toolbox which is useless. I spose I'll call the RAC. However, I do keep a £1 disposable camera in the glovebox. It's from a Pound shop, and yes I've tested it and it does work.

Do you ever put one inflated on your head and make chicken noises? Or is it just me? ;-)

Oh yes, and an electric cattle-prod.

Cheers,

Colin

Isn't that a bit like testing matches?

Cheers,

Colin.

I've never seen a petrol container playing with a frisby before. Is it a good catch?

Cheers,

Colin.

I knew someone would ask that question. You see, £1 isn't a lot for a camera, so you can easily afford to buy another to test the general quality. Then hope that the manufacturing quality is consistent. You can test matches in much the same way...

Sad. Buy yourself a dog.
