My dad insisted on taking a calor gas stove (borrowed from work) on those tortuous journeys to Devon. We’d stop in a lay-by often next to a mobile drinks van and brew up.

Years later I would always take a jumper to Spain just in case we had bad weather.

I still take my own mug and slippers wherever we go.

Those sachets of sugar, ketchup, coffee, long life milk, etc nicked from service stations.

Just the basics. Book an Easyjet flight for thruppence. Jump thru some pitiful hoops re c*nts attempting to bring the family fridge on board as hand luggage. Reckon we won't see those carefree days of cheapo travel again anytime soon

Those ridiculous travel iron things.

I shall never forget a flight back to my office in the Middle East once, took a newbie out with me and had packed a full size/weight iron. He didn't believe that other countries might have such a technical novelty.

Depending on where I am going, I do still smuggle bottles of ale into the suitcases wrapped up in clothes.
I really enjoy a glass of ale and a cigar on the balcony in the early evening before going out.
Always get away with it and it stops me taking far too many clothes and shoes (as above)
