Handy hints
Engraving
Don't mark metal things with nail varnish, paint or sticking plaster as they all come off; engrave them like this - draw your initials on the metal object with a soft pencil or felt tip pen. Support the object firmly and make a series of small dents 1 to 2mm apart along the pencil line buy hitting the point of a masonry nail into it with a hammer and you will have your name engraved forever. This is not suitable for enamelled items.
Don't do this in an enclosed space as it will damage your hearing.
Do not bring
Shell suits or nylon clothes (There is an extreme fire injury risk)
Aerosols, matches, lighters, or any other flammable liquid or gas (These are dangerous and not necessary). Any found will be confiscated and not returned.
Anything valuable or electronic (No Walkmans, computers, mobile phones, Portable TVs, Camcorders etc. They are too easily stolen or damaged)
