Yes - I am a sad git who takes a screwdriver on holiday with me
and a
spare washer for between the shower head and hose as they usually
leak.

Wherever I go I usually have a couple of small screwdrivers, some hex
keys and for some odd reason a drum key in my bag. Perhaps I'm hoping
I'll be at a gig and someone will call over the PA is there a guitar

I must start to fill the car up with crap now that I have one.

Trolley jack, tow rope and jump leads are already in there. The hi viz

tyre inflator as well.

Care to mention anything else I have missed?

Battery rattle gun and an electric jack
