DCLane

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Gold coins anyone?
Or a revolver?

Both of the above need to be added to 2021's LEL packing list along with a British flag.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
Hmmmm....

That's very obviously some kind of photoshop or internet forum mashup. I suspect the basic list which has been hacked up is one provided to British civil servants going to the colonies, and given that it includes sticking plaster (invented 1920) and dark glasses (popularised in the 1920s) it's probably from around then, but it could easily be earlier given some of the other items.

Someone even geekier than me will be able to pinpoint the font, which looks rather more like a 1990s version of Times Roman than anything ever used for typesetting in the days of hot metal.
 
Sperm oil...
Fuel for bike lights.

What's a pugaree?
(I did look it up, but failed to see why it should be on the list as necessary)
It's something that might be quite useful for a Briton who will be living in a warm climate for some years...
