What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Flute. It's in a carry case with the piccolo strapped to the side, so I can sling that over my shoulder.
Two files full of my life's details: they have my certificates, photos, exam results, premium bond numbers, health records, and tax details. If I were to lose either file, it would be most inconvenient.
A coat. I'm not stupid enough to stand too close to a burning house, just to keep warm whilst waiting for the fire brigade.
My Iron Maiden shoes. I'd slip them on to run outside in.
Phone, keys, wallet, oyster card.
If I can carry anything other than all of that, I'd be extremely impressed with myself.
So, if you see a young lady standing outside a house wearing: Iron Maiden shoes, a floor-length scarlet coat with some keys and a wallet etc poking out of the pocket, carrying two battered files full of paper, with a flute slung over her shoulders, please come and say hello. But don't get burnt.
