Just as you can’t be too rich or too thin, I’d always thought, so you can’t have too many tools on your Swiss Army knife – but that was before I took delivery of the new Giant Swiss Army knife.

Unload this mother into the plastic tray as you walk through security at Heathrow and just see what happens.
