Useful tips
I am sure many of you have some useful tips to pass on to others.
Having nearly had my purse removed from my handbag by a pickpocket a few years ago (fortunately I realised what was going on and prevented its theft!) I now have my purse attached to my bag by a strap so it isn't easy to remove. It also ensures I don't put it down and forget to pick it up again, as I did once!

I have chased after people on a number of occasions who have left their purses on a shop counter, or at the checkout, it is easily done.

Re: Useful tips
Both good tips! Esp about the shopping as I'm always doing that! But usually for frozen food - think the keys might object a little to that
(supposed the could always get hung on the freezer lol).Re my wallet, I am constantly checking to see if my wallet is still there and always put it in the same back pocket (so it feels empty when not there). If I ever went somewhere where pick-pocketing is rife, I'd get one of those wallets with velcro on it, so the wallet can't easily be removed by someone from behind
My tip: look after your body/health - you only have one!

Just bung the car keys in with the shopping the night before and it will never happen again
Now that`s a good idea OG ...........
Hope you`re feeling better now

Re: Useful tips
Heres a tip, if you burn any part of your hands rub the burn vigourously against the scalp of your head for about 20 seconds, this will prevent a blister and pain. I learned this trick from a Turkish chap I was apprenticed to in the 60s and it works a treat. Alas, I don't think it works on bald People, and if you burn your leg or backside it's just too bad (unless you're a contortionist).|
