Those of you who have been fortunate to meet my wife, a small few, may have seen she is blonde, although it's out of a bottle so she has never really been a dizzy blonde...........until now!!!!!!!
Those who have read the posts may have seen that last weekend we visited friends in Scotland, had a riot of a weekend but on Sunday could not find my car keys. It was assumed that I had dropped them in the boot when I fetched the vintage Port I had bought for my mate. So, anyway, my mate lends me his car for a week so we could come back with spare key. Went back today and spare key would not work, it hasn't been used so transponder needs setting in key......AA man turns up and was desperate to work it out, ringing his mates etc, eventually lets tow it to VW Ayr, had all ready arranged to get it sorted tommorrow.. gets into car park, phone rings, I've found something in my handbag, er, what, it's a VW key, what the one you have emptied 3 times to see if it's in there, er yes, 20 minutes later wife and mate turn up.........
Vroom, vroom.... so 900 miles on my mates car, £200 in diesel (brimmed it for him) day off work and I'm where I should have been last Sunday...
Sat in front of fire with a beer, just as well I love her I guess.........
Lesson- beware the unknown depths of a handbag and never pass the keys to the "sober" one........
