My wifes friend Karen has now returned to the UK but on the last full day of her visit we took her around yet another local lake.
Karen made fun of my choice to carry a knife as she had done all week and I continued to shrug them off as I had done all week.
Karens on the left, Mrs Pit the right as they stopped to enjoy the view...

Anyway we finally made our way back to the beach area and sat to eat our lunch. A woman approached us and asked if we had any scissors ?
Mrs Pit said no and the woman started to leave. Before she could go I told her that I did have a knife and asked what she needed cutting. The woman then produced a pair of childs pants and said that she had forgot her grandsons bathing trunks and wanted to cut the legs off his pants.
My Bandicoot effortlessly sliced the legs from the pants and the woman thanked me and left with a big smile on her face !!!
I just turned to Karen and gave her a smug look.......not exactly what I usually carry my knife for but maybe another example (or excuse) of why you should !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
