    Is it wise to carry a whistle

    I used the little titanium one I have on my key ring this afternoon. I used it to attract the attention of the owner of a rather nasty pit bull hybrid which had invaded the children's playground I was at with my 3 year old. He ignored it. I ended up shouting across the park at him. That did...

    Eurostar and knives

    Leave your knife at home and buy one at your destination. It saves a lot of hassle from security. However, when we went on a Family trip to Disneyland Paris I was without a blade for cutting apples up etc. As there is nowhere near there to buy a decent knife. I ended up borrowing a...
