Golden syrup used to be called industrial honey. Edited January 10 by Hroth spelin korekshun... 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All part of Samson's riddle posed after he saw a hive of bees living in the carcass of a dead lion. "Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet." Unfortunately his missus told the guests the answer so he had a forfeit of providing thirty sets of good clothes. He just killed thirty of them and took their clothes! 3 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally this sounds like sound advice, equal to carrying spare lamps and a spare tyre. My preference would be Eccles cakes. The overhead sign reminds me of an incident some years ago as I was driving towards Cornwall on the M5. There was a warning that the A30 was blocked at a junction and a little later that the A38 was also blocked at a junction. These being the only major routes into Cornwall it was essential that I knew which junctions were affected, i.e. were the blockages after the point where I would need to turn off. Unfortunately the overhead signs only provided the adjoining ‘A’ road numbers at the junctions, not the geographic locations. Not being equipped with satnav etc. I pulled into the services at Exeter and rushed into to shop to have a look at a motoring atlas to determine my options. It will come as no surprise that there was a mass of other motorists clustered around the book stall doing exactly the same thing. 4 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I always have Kendal Mint Cake in the car... Also some bottled water and fleece blankets. Never had to use them since I bough the Yeti 12 years ago.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in the Focus following me along some grass-up-the-middle Dorset lanes yesterday didn't have my level of confidence! My Satnav has a sense of fun/adventure but did bring us out exactly where I anticipated! Also in the back in winter is an army-style folding shovel, pair of wellies, a sleeping bag and a couple of cans of baked beans.

I have a Soviet MPL-50 which has better balance for throwing at people. All my cars in the last few years have had a set of AutoSocks in the back. On the one occasion I've needed to fit them they've been excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 14 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14 Baked beans. When I was a rugrat, my older sister convinced me that they were sheep droppings in tomato sauce. Of course, I soon realised that she was winding me up. Still can't face them, though; my subconcious still knows what they really are... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stopped once at the border at Kilpisjärvi between Norway and Finland, and the Finnish Customs man (who spoke no English) decided to search the car. He was baffled by a few cans of Heinz beans - unlike other cans of food there's no picture on the label! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
