Subject: Re: Everyday tools for journeys?
In a way this reminds me of my dad. He worked for London Underground at Acton depot. When I was little I was always interested in nailing bits of wood together to make something and after a while I noticed that lots of his tools had LTE stamped on them. He always maintained the story that they belonged to a chap called Little Tommy Edwards with whom he worked and that he'd got them from him. In older age I realise that LTE stood for London Transport Executive! Many years later I was recounting this story to my father-in-law and he laughed and said "in that case don't ask why all our cutlery has AM stamped on it because I'd tell you I got it from a chap I worked with called Arthur Morris." He was a retired RAF pilot and went on to explain that AM was in fact Air Ministry!
Anyway, anyone got any suggestions for what tools to stick in my tool bag in the boot of my 16/80?
