'If travelling abroad take your money in gold coins......A revolver is not considered necessary....but if accosted by footpads or brigands.........and display your Union Flag'.

And don't forget to take your bathing drawers, flannel nightshirt and Sperm oil

Sperm oil ????

I'm guessing Sperm Whale Oil.

Whale oil, also called train oil, any oil derived from any species of whale, including sperm oil from sperm whales, train oil from baleen whales, and melon oil from small toothed whales. From the 16th century through the 19th century, whale oil was used principally as lamp fuel and for producing soap.

Exactly the same packing list as we had for Spain last year.

… including the spare white collars and neckties of course.

No worries about Payload; adventuring motorcyclists just put a bit more air in the tyres.
