Never really considered mending my own punctures (obvious by my previous post

)

Surely mending a puncture yourself is a workshop job (paddock stand, tyre levers etc) not really the kind of thing you can do on a weekend away (or is it) ?

Please tell me how the repair kit works as I was also of the opinion that it involved removing the tyre from the rim and plugging from the inside.

Agree with Swiss.

Perhaps the repair option is slightly less convenient in use - but I'd rather that than not be aware that the tyre had been damaged.

This is also the reason that roadside repair kits are only to be used as a temporary fix, the tyre must be inspected thoroughly before a permanent repair is made so that you can be confident that the tyre's structure isn't damaged, this obviously requires the tyre to be removed and and inspected internally as well.
