Hi tolerance, are you a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man? My wife made some bags of differing sizes for just this sort of thing out of the legs of some old jeans I was about to throw away very nice they are and the best bit is they are free. Have a good Christmas.

Regards arnieh[/quote]


I am a Kentish man although my fathers family are men of Kent historically. :D

As for the Jean bags they sound great! I need to find me one of those wife ladies one day,
Great that they are used from recycled materials as well.

My short list at the minute is either

A pencil case

Roll up tool bag

or an old sock (washed of course :D )

Merry Christmas
To you and the wife as well Arnieh
Having food,water and shelter are not a right.
They are a responsibility.

So make it your priority.
