So, as usual The Mister phoned at lunchtime .... Today was different ..... Today he was starving hungry and thirsty .... why ? because the silly twit had locked his keys in the van ..... His key fob is broken and it has to be in the ignition to charge up ....he went to get something from the back of the van, then returned the key to the ignition...on closing the doors the van locked...... He phoned the office who said they would send someone out, the AA may be called . He was prepared to break a window, but thought the company would charge him for the replacement. Anyway, after a while he found some wire ....managed to open the door enough to loop onto the key and fish it out through the gap ! What a clever chap ....eventually ! Not his best day ! Have you ever locked your keys in the car ? What happened ?

Fortunately it hasn't happened to me yet. I'm using a keyless car so the device to one the car always stays in my pocket. And if it's in the car, and I stop to get out, the car gives a warning that my device is still in the car.

I’m sure I have, but I just don’t remember it. Poor guy must have been annoyed with himself!
