Never considered this as an issue before, I just assumed that everyone would take the right kit, and have never observed any of the obvious deceptions some of you seem to have.

Agree though that if I'm weighed down by the minimum kit, then so should every bugger else. And if you disagree with that and seek to take advantage by deliberate avoidance or bending of these rules then you are cheating.

I wonder how these same people view the rule dodging/bending/breaking of the MPs?

I bet that's why I've never won!
