It's much safer to pack your own bag. I found this the hard way some 25 years ago. Going to niece's wedding, let wife pack. Get there and ask 'Where's my suit jacket?'

'Oh' she says, ' it's on the hangar'

'What hangar?'

'The one in the wardrobe at home'.

Since when, I always pack for myself.

Biggest problem with questions is in the US where words have different meanings. TSA went ballistic when they got an answer of 'there's a torch in the case' to a question. How was I to know that to them, a 'torch' meant a blow lamp, and not a flashlight?
