Lots of green plastic mugs knocking about! I still have mine from a previous life with the pongos, now used as a toothbrush holder!

My favourite piece of kit has/had to be the black stockings (not tights) when worn by the prettier Wrens. Even if the boat-race isn't perfect, a good pair of pins in black stockings is a very pleasant sight.
Any chance of a picture of you wearing them?

I got stacks. Canvas holdall with 'get em down safely...' sticker from 1979, Mountain men love mountin' women sticker FI 86.

"For those like me who get a perverse pleasure from roaming sleet-sodden Scottish hillsides, the headover is the 'nicked' bit of kit that was ordained by God to be the favourite.

It is such a versatile item for regulating body temperature that I sometimes wonder if one could be stark-b0ll0ck naked save for the headover and still be roastie-toastie."

The wristlets are absolutely ideal when out fowling on the Tay in a December gale, along with some fingerless gloves keeps my fingies in the pink and supple down to -10 plus windchill -superb piece of kit.

Two broken pairs of wire twisters rescued from the scrap bin. With a bit of jiggery pokery they made one good pair and I've still got them forty years later. Used them last night actually, to attach a new garden hose to the garden standpipe. The other thing I wanted and was allowed to keep was my safety boots. They lasted ten more years before they fell apart and became un-safety boots.

Helmet. Got away with it. To be fair though our SE's gave me a choice of what I took with me.

Surely the answer has to be ones life.

Oh and an ATPL(A). Especially, the cheapo IRT and Air Law exam version.

Bu66er! That's 2, it must be contagious.

Still use my '74 pattern boots, issued in '81, but only when working so that doesn't really count.

White Acrillan Pile Arctic underear and also my green bunny suit.
