http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_23989.htm (http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/special_buys3_23989.htm)  Aldi has these in now , i got a couple today they are sturdy and well made. I want them for my canoe trips but they would be handy for lots of things over a season.

If the camping cutlery set is the same one my daughter bought me a few years ago they are brilliant, especially at £1.99 :)

Nipped into Aldi this morning. They still had the Dry Bags so picked one up for you. I can send it or drop it off depending on where you are :)

They also had the Camping Cutlery sets, I picked one up for my mate. At £1.99 they are great value. They also had a small Spray-on Plaster aerosol that I picked up too, could be handy on the hill for small cuts and abrasions.

Like the bags, thanks for the "heads up". Took a look at the camping cutlery as well. And fell off the chair.

Let's get this right, I can leave school, get a job and get married at 16. Cash is going to be tight, so the honeymoon won't be much- just a wee camping trip- but I can't buy the fekkin cutlery until I'm 18. Come to think of it I hope Auntie Ethel gave us a canteen of cutlery for a wedding present as well or we are going to have to eat with our fingers at home for two years as well.  Is it illegal to provide a 16 year old with a butterknife? If it aint what is the point of the law, "Hey mister! Gonny go intae shop an gettus yon camping set, heres the munny.?"

The spray on plaster stuff can work quite well although some of them can sting like buggery when applied. I quite often carry a styptic pencil and a wee tube of superglue, the pencil to stop the bleeding and the glue to go over the top.

These laws don't work because they are not enforceable. If a criminal wants a weapon then he will obtain one.  There is no way to stop him doing so.

What these laws actually do is slowly but surely erode the personal freedom of law-abiding people.

Politicians like to be seen to be "doing something", even though most of what they do is actually useless, or even detrimental to those they purportedly "serve".

Thank you so much for the offer Fishtales. Unfortunately I haven't been on for a while due the birth of my first child, so I'm playing catch up this season. I did get a type of drybag from Adventure 1 above Queen St station in G'gow, its ok, but dont think it will last the rigours of a full seasons use, but thank you once again, very much appreciated.
Cheers
