I kart in the small rucksack that holds one or more of the netbook / tablet / sandwiches depending on requirements. The same rucksack I kart to the gig when I get it.

It's got a designer name on it, Enrico Benetti, and at £6.99 off eBay 10 years ago must impress the panel.

There won't be much you can do to avoid the 'Mummy' look after that...

Hehe, true. Current contact is WFH though, so might be able to defer that experience for a bit.

I have one handbag and that's it. ( shock horror, yes, with feck all in it)

If I happen to be doing summat else or the journey requires a bigger bag, I jettison the bag and have a small samsonite rucksack for the job.

If I can get away with not having a handbag then even better.

I've got an attaché case, mainly because I used to have a girlfriend who worked in a luggage shop and I got a big discount.

The first time I took it to an interview with a prospective client I did the whole thing of opening it briskly while saying "Do you mind if I take some notes?" and pulling out a notepad and pen.

It turned out that none of us said anything worth noting down, and at the end of the interview I put the still-blank notepad (and pen) back in the case before shaking hands and leaving

You should have doodled. Maybe a few willies would have impressed the panel.
