Aspic quite often the culprit when lots of people go down with food poisoning when attending a function catered by outside catering companies. Or on cruise ships.

Leatherman - multi-purpose knives with folding this, that and the other devices. Reminds me of my boy scout days, when most of us had a similar device called a jacknife with can and bottle openers, various blades for whittling saplings, and a tapering pointed thing for getting stones out of old ladies' hooves ...

Another good thing about buying a Leatherman is that it guaranteed for life. Any breakage or fault it gets repaired or replaced for free. They are expensive but Ex-Ascot cannot live without his. You name it and you can fix it with a Leatherman. Tool box obsolete.

Not a problem, Ex-A has got one Leatherman in both Bots and Greece. In Bots if we fly to one of the Safari camps he puts it in the bag which goes through with the checkin baggage as opposed to carrying it through "security ".When returning to Maun he wears it on his belt.
