Forgot we have Warning Triangle
Also one of them things which brakes window incase of a smash and which also cuts seats belts for the passengers in the back.
Oil seems to be a good idea, just incase.

Well, after looking at all the stuff you lot carry around, mines hardly carries anything about.

Most days all thats in there are three adjustable hill walking sticks, and maybe a blanket, but I notice that the wife took that out a while ago to wash it and it hasn't been back in the boot for weeks.

On a Scout Troop night it can vary, tonight we had a Resusci-Anne, Records Box, Badge Box, Records Folder, and an empty 5 litre water container I'd borrowed from Scouts for refilling the drinks containers during the Rugby Match last Sunday.

If it's a Scout Camping Weekend, I usually have the Weekend's Food Shopping in the back.  Plus the tow ball cover because I'd be towing a single axle Scout Trailer down some muddy track and across a couple of fields.  Last weekend there was even, briefly, a shovel in the back.

On a Sunday, during Rugby Season, there's usually two Rugby Players on the fold down seats, plus all their muddy kit.

If we take the dogs out, then there's a Black Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, and Chocolate Retriever (we just couldn't decide which one to have so had one of each!).

Once a week it's full of shopping, but not bread, since I make fresh bread every morning these days.

If we're going to an auction, the boot will be full of the more expensive stuff that we don't want broken or nicked, plus the tow ball cover because I'll be towing a twin axle trailer full of all sorts of stuff for sale.

Hey, maybe I do use the boot lots!
