I had my chain confiscated by customs because I could have used it as a weapon on the plane (had I wished to hijack the plane I guess), however they did let me take on 2 large glass jars full of pickled eggs (Isn't broken glass and an acid like way more deadly than a small chain ?) and they didn't stop the woman behind me who was the Queen of all the Chaves and was wearing at the very least THREE 9 carat gold belcher chains thicker and longer than the one attached to my wallet.
Calling the security guard a 'pointless fucking jobsworth' for confiscating my chain and letting the chav necklace through almost got me nicked, I wonder if it would have been under the prevention of terrorism act ?

There's a couple of really nice suits at Debenhams at the moment - a really cool brown one that's on sale for £160. I'd get it if I needed a suit. Which I don't.

I usually travel with a stealth travel wallet, the type you wear underneath your shirt, a flesh-colored cloth thing attached by way of an elastic stretched around the torso. It's probably a manifestation of sort of subconscious desire that should I ever be mugged while traveling, I'd prefer to not only be left without cash, credit cards or any identification, but also be left without my shirt. I wonder what that says about people who wear money belts- probably that they secretly want to be mugged and left with no pants I suppose.
I remember the wallets with the chains on from the mid-80s. We called them truckers wallets. At some point I also seem to recall seeing them used by goth type people in the late 90s. Never owned one myself though.
