However, reading the 'carry a sewing kit' and how its necessary for survival etc made me chuckle. I work at various places in UK and 4 weeks into a 7 week shutdown an attractive busty girl in the management offices was about to lose the 3rd button on her white blouse. Other lads had discretely (not) pointed it out and her pained embarressment was killing her. I mentioned I had needles and black thread but if she had dental floss it would look better. Accepted the offer and for my last 3 weeks I didn't get one dirty job. Guess the needle is always worth it as long as clothes have stitches
