You can't be too careful

I went out to a pub in town the other day. I went through my usual routine for going out in the evening - I don't take my shoulder bag with my wallet in it - only cash and sometimes one cashcard (in different pockets - always of my trousers in case I take my coat off); only my door key (such a drag if I lose thew car keys or work keys) and mobile phone (also in troiuser pocket where I can feel it. I thought taking my MP3 player as I was going on the bus and not drinking too much - but decided against it - it would make me too distracted on the bus and I'd be a target. Also another thing to keep in my pockets and to worry about.
