Can't have it both ways, and I don't actually do defeatism
This is just common sence for anyone who does a lot of driving to have that sort of thing in the boot ... I once on the way home from werk ended up parked on the A52 on top of J25 of M1 for 5hrs cause of an accident ... I was desperate to go.. there was nowhere.. All the men in cars kept tipping paper cups, bottles. cans etc. out the windows..It made me quite ill...
After that I carried a baby's potty in the boot and needed to use it once when I got stuck on the M5 outside Bristol for hours due to a lorry fire...
So stop being a stubborn sod and see sence .. do you go anywhere in the car without a spare tyre .. Is that defeatism NO..
