you need something with an insulated section to keep the cool sarnies cool. carrying anything else?

You are spot on there although the temptation to sneak in a warm bacon sarnie and take advantage of the insulated sections thermo properties might be too much.

I occassionaly snaffle chocolate from the kids container but usually all the good stuff has gone, just leaving things like caramel wafers and other detritus.

That look more like a suicide bomber's back pack to me.

I have several man bags. They are just nylon things I have picked up free at educational shows. As long as it is cheap or free, or at least extremely old and grubby, it is obviously the property of a real man.

Any advice on man bags? Due to economic downturn I am thinking about making my own sarnies rather than spending an arm and leg at Pret, M&S etc. and need something to bring them to work in.

I have an old briefcase but that is so 1970, my rucksack is too over-spec'd for commuting and carrier bags look a bit trampy. Can 40+ year olds use those messenger style bags without people sniggering behind their back?

answers on a postcard..........

40+ year old metrosexual? You will be laughed off the site.

There is a guy at current client site who must be 45+ and has the whole Call Centre McFly choppy gel highlighted hair manbag thing going on and the sniggers follow him everywhere he goes.

Always carried a man bag. Can't go to work without it. Full of good stuff to eat/drink/read/play with on the tube or bus. My current one is from Japan and is made from horses.

Any chance of a link to a picture so we can gauge the kind and level of abuse required, please?

Why don't you use a tiffin service?

Looking at their client list, someone should sabotage their web site, or get a job there and poison the food.
