Well done Gloria! Spot on. It's the spare carbide container you used to carry in case the one in use ran out. You could always find the water of course, in extremis you simply peed in it!

I have just got back from my walk, half an hour on traffic duty and a shop at the Co-op for two oranges and six onions.... The last of the big spenders!
