What's the strangest thing you have a spare of?
Given that @jobbo had a spare oven in his garage, what's the strangest thing you have a spare of?
For me, it's either the spare ironing board (which is odd as I don't iron anything) or the spare vacuum cleaner.

I effectively have a spare set of pans, a "moving in" present from a house move many years ago, but the pans I have are still serviceable so I've never bothered upgrading
Spare fridge in the outhouse too, bought for a rental space I had but not worth enough to bother selling/using when I moved into the current place.

Plug in the spare fridge in the garage and use it as a drinks fridge??? That’s what I’ve done.

We have three fridges (two standard size, one double height freestanding) but none are technically spare since they’re all in the house.

Oh jeez, I have a garage full of stuff !
But closest to the original question, relating to Jobbo & his oven, was back when we'd first moved to this house. Gavster asked if I had a spare washing machine. I did, but that wasn't the weird thing. The strangely embarrassing thing was that I didn't know where it was. I couldn't find it
It eventually came to light in the dining room, under / behind some other furniture. My house is such a mess that I was able to lose something as big as a washing machine.

Spare airbag for a van I no longer own. Thinking of firing it off at a race meeting for comedy value at some point.
A spare flare for a Toyota again no longer owned.

There's no room left, the three bikes and workshop take all the room
(Also, the garage is integral with the house, so the main fridge/freezer is just inside anyway)
I left it in the outhouse, fully intending it to be beer fridge, but I don't drink much these days, and don't get many visitors that drink either!

Spare wheel and toolkit off my Rover 45 :d

A red household bayonet fitting filament lightbulb. I don't know where it came from or what purpose it serves but I've kept it circa 20 years
Re: What's the strangest thing you have a spare of?
We had some red bulbs from when our dad had a darkroom for photography. I think we got rid of them when my brother moved out of Thurso, some twenty years after we moved out of the house with the darkroom
Re: What's the strangest thing you have a spare of?
I've got 3 wrist watches, but I don't think of two being spares, more a small collection. We've also got three different Dyson vacuums.
