Your Desert Island Discs...

[percy toboggan]

Which eight gramophone records, one book, and a luxury item would you want with you if you were marooned on a desert island - shipwrecked and alone?

Off the top of your head, no need to delve too deeply into your innermost soul - it's just meant as a bit of fun like.
