Hehe funny thread.

In my farm coat, i currently have, baler twine, fencing staples, part of a split pin out of the quad trailer (I have lost the pin in the field somewhere  >:( ), a pen, bits of sweet wrappers that I sometimes find on the floor from my messy children, a hose connector and work gloves.

Pockets full of rubbish  ;D

Holes ! and trails of tissues over the garden or stuck in the tops of my boots if they do not drop out of my trouser legs. Must tell the OH to repair them  :-J

Ahhh Spandit. I'd find that coat before the poo finds you  :P
Forgot, I had an egg in a coat pocket once for a few days. Didn't break  ;D  Amazing with our loopy leaping dogs.

Nearly 12 hours later and I still haven't checked...


...just looked and I was right, there was one in a bag! Disposed of now... :D

Dog poop bags, castration rings, pen and pad  ::) and bits of hay.

And the odd chocolate wrapper.

And sometimes a golf ball (we live not THAT close to a golf course but I find them in the field).

No handbag hence very big pockets. I have a poachers pocket in my jacket that really would hold a pheasant :thumbsup:
