My NFRM haul

OK, I went to the biggest show in the country, so what did I buy? 

A really nice Stanley screwdriver. This is an updated (it has a different handle) of a tool I like a lot. The grip is excellent, there are four bits, and you can turn it with a spanner on the metal "nut" at the base of the handle. I have four, and lent one of them out, never for it to return. 

Oddly, this tool came from the Londis in the atrium as I nipped out to buy some drinks. I love the idea that the little supermarket also sell exhibition supplies, including document holders, tape, hi-vis and hard hats. 

Is this a cake fork, or a fish fork? I've decided it's for cake. 

Most important, it's an LMS fork, so I can scoff cake with a railway connetion. 

And that's it. Apart from some materials for work projects, I didn't buy any goodies for myself. Not that I really need any more toy train stuff!

I have an LMS soup spoon, but the LMS exhibition cake fork is much more interesting!

Not much use for soup though! :-)

True, but I'm more of a cake person, as I believe you are too!

I have been known to partake...

As well as two Phillips and two straight bits you also get three different size hex spanners! Only downside I found is that the bits rust easily and get stuck in the tube

Probably for fish, it lacks the knifey bit that distinguishes the cake fork from other, lesser, forks. You could of course use it for fishcakes.

Brilliant! :-)
