The contents of my wife's handbag would easily fill a small removal van.

My wife once asked me to get something out of her handbag, I swear I
could hear voices in the distance shouting "Help - is there anyone
there!" So now I take precautions and always open her bag while wearing a
safety line... can't be too careful. I think it is a portal into another
galaxy.


I've heard this before about handbags. I don't have one.

What are pockets made for?

Since moving to France I've got my own unisex handbag, don't tell anyone or
they'll think I'm gay! It's very handy and doesn't have the same stigma as
in the UK - I once went out with it there and a van load of builders started
wolf whistling me and making suggestive remarks. The Mrs used to complain
that her bag weighed a ton carrying my stuff around too, and seeing a number
of French men with them got one myself. Pockets are too small - its great
for carrying wallet, mobile, camera, passport, little computer, vehicle /
insurance docs, cheque book etc. (Not enough room for any lippy though ;-)
