I was thinking more of:
75% actually on the road, working, "in use"
15% in the garden or shed, awaiting assembly, refurbishment or disposal
10% in flakes, dust, filings, odd rusty nuts, split pins, paint, waxoyl,
EP90, self-tappers, bits of wire, discarded Mars Bar wrappers, that stuff
off the bottom of the sump you could tarmac the drive with, tiny springs,
terminals, washers, and hundreds of unidentifiable other bits, buried among
the gravel and grass on the drive.
I've not had anything fall off on the road before. That's because I am
meticulous and make sure things fall off at home, where I can lose them
properly.
