• 50p is a legacy from the stupid coin slot screw in my motorbike side cover which I upgraded.
• 2 x £1 seems pretty sensible to me.
• £2.50 should be £27.50 but I used the £5 and £20 and haven't got round to replacing (optimum backup cash imo: a small note and ok total).
• Pills are ones that keep you awake. Obvs if you're tired you should stop, but irl there are times when you need to make it a bit further. There used to be paracetamol and ibuprofen but they got used.
• Stamps I actually had to check, but it's actually emergency breakdown details. I doubt I thought of this, but being a folded plasticky paper they are still in vgc.
• Torch: yes a headtorch would be better. But I use my SP40 regularly in the loft and garden and it's a bit big with the strap. I have an old retractable Petzl Zipka which I'd love to have the skills to replace the internals of because the leds are insanely dim now.. TBH the more I think about it one of my little Sofirn's is prob better than this one as standard Alkaline AAA unused last forever, and you can hold them in your mouth.
