So, when someone says to you (as their parting words whilst they pinch YOUR car and leave you at home with their bloody works vehicle) 'By the way, you can't lock it' You can bet your sweet bippy the first thing that you do is show them you CAN indeed lock it...........it's only when you realise you've left your front door keys on the passenger seat that what they ACTUALLY meant was 'You MUSTN'T lock it'

I've had to drag Number Two Son 12 miles home to let me in the house. And you know what hurts even more? Last month I threw away ALL the s**t wire coat hangers.....

So, one of you jump in yer car and bring me parcel band!!!!!

Love and Kisses
Debaser

still, at least you're not bitter

Incidentally, what is "parcel band"?

presumably one of those plastic binding strips that come wrapped around large parcels, or stacks of newspapers...

they're well known for being used to pop car door locks

You forgot to say "Allegedly"

I locked myself out of a Fiesta in Wrexham maaaaaaany years ago and a traffic warden came along to see why I was loitering by the car. Without checking a single bit of my story he proceeded to pull a strip of parcel band out of his pocket and broke into my car right in front of me

Muahahaha! Thanks for the tip! Now, I'm off to find a lovely shiny black convertible '69 GTO to nick...

Oh, wait - never mind. *Sigh*

Must have been the only sentient traffic warden on the planet - he figured that no-one would actually want to steal a Fiesta...

I thought this thread was about some new genre of music called 'parcel' (kinda like skiffle?) and that a band was needed pronto... Oh well.

Adds a new dimension to the concept of (w)Rap(ping).

Nice try

(Great to see you though.. )

Sorry to keep you wondering, but worry no longer. I have now extracated my keys and will never again lock his door again!

I'd like to say I did it but who am I to deny a man when he offers to do it.
