Toddie, printing off some crosswords is a good idea, thanks! Got any recommendations of where I can find some online?

Featherstick, ibuprofen is nurofen - nurofen is just a brand company that charges ten times more for the same stuff as everyone else. I'm on it. ;)

ForgeCorvus, I don't have a utensil to drink tea from, nor a method of making hot water. But this EDC is mostly designed for my own personal needs and the main thing I've prepared for is an extended stay somewhere like a bus station or at work. They usually have cups and water, but sometimes no tea. I like tea. But I'll take you up on the extra smaller change, salt and I think I'll get a small packet of wet wipes.

A sewing kit is usefull for prolonged periods away, and I have one in my family bags and my own personal GOOD bag. But I don't really see the need to carry one all the time.

Devonian, you're right that it's a lot of stuff. But I've found myself in situations where I could have done, or just very much needed this stuff. Especially when the night shift staff have not shown up in work, or when I got snowed in at my aunties house one time. Or when my motorcycle broke down in the Peak district. The solar charger is a luxury amongst a couple of other things, but I justify this lot of stuff by the size of it. It's really small and light, and I fit it inside my backpack or whatever bag I take out with me.

CynicalSurvival, I have mini scissors on the SOG Paratool that I will be getting on my next trip to the US but I'll still be keeping my nail clippers. They're much quicker and help me not to make a mess of my fingers. I've had a few ouchy situations in the past that I'd like to avoid in future.
I love motorcycles like a fat guy loves cake. I also love cake.

Sewing kit's are handy if you wear clothes with buttons lol. Can be something as simple as a needle, some thread a button and a safety pin or two.

I carry these Andrex Washlets to go instead of the toilet paper, found them to be much more comfortable then fighting with potentially damp toilet roll from the bottom of my EDC bag.
