None of you spend significantly on souvenirs ...

No: in our now retirement, and recent down-sizing of our home, my wife and I have been weeding out most of the accumulated junk souvenirs we had each built up, over the years, in our respective previous employments. Local charity shops have been the grateful recipients.

Nearly all of us spend on food and drink, overnight accommodation and national network rail fares.

I'm glad no-one has significant spends on fines and penalties.   None of you spend significantly on souvenirs and - you mean bunch - for family when you get home.  Mind you, I have to count myself as not brining in gifts for Lisa - unless you count stopping to pick up a kebab as I walk up from the station.

Many of our members have "transport stuff" as a hobby as well as something they do in their regular lives such as community (yes, I do mean regular travel to and from a place of work) ... which items do you make what you would regard as a significant spend on in addition to your regular stuff ...
