Just a training pack.
Sure he will buy a metal framed one in a year or so.
He still has to perfect the odour side of exhibition attendance.

I think if an appropriate framework is used it looks like it could protrude sufficiently to cause annoyance at exhibitions. All is not lost :)

Looks just fine to me Steamie. Aren't wives like ours wonderful.

For exhibition or heritage rail use, all it needs to hold is a Thermos, a piece or two, some mints, and a place to put all the new purchases you can't resist picking up.

Anything else can be carried by the lady herself. ;)

Just to be clear, "a piece" does not mean anything else than a sandwich. It's a Scottish slang term. I'm not a Scot but have spent many a happy day in that fair land, and even got married there on the Isle of Skye, so it's just a term I've adopted at times.

Definitely worth the clarity for any US users who may well be "packing"!

Yep, just what I was thinking - visions of being arrested for inciting acts of violence ;).  Just see the headlines : man arrested outside TINGS found to be in possession of a fully loaded Cheese and Onion Special. ;D

Daffy,
I wouldn't bother with the thermos.Get yourself a cuppa en route or at the venue. It would be taking up valuable space for more purchases.

If Anne is like my wife then the first items in the pack would be raincoats, folding brolly, sunscreen, insect repellent, water then anything else I want.
Wonder what Steamie is going to use his nice new prezzie for?

Well it's going to the Southport show today @NinOz (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2006) so hopefully it won't be used for beating ignorant people with lol.   :laugh3:

Don't think you'll have to worry much about the Aussie contents in Southport, Steamie.
