Almost a fecking div.
Got a phone call from the garage to tell me the MOT & service was complete & I could go and pick the car up.
GARAGE: Oh I should tell you, we couldn't find your locking wheel nut key
MRS PINGU:
Er, I didn't even know I had such a thing, see you later byeeee.
<effects, swirly lines, vague memories> Oh. I wonder if that's what that thing that looked like a socket that suddenly appeared in the car when it came back from being repaired after the drug driver slammed into the Future Classic
TM Mr Larrington was. It hung about in the passenger compartment for a few months rattling in an irritating manner and eventually I thought 'that's too big to fit on my socket set, maybe I'll put it in the bin'.
Looks up 'locking wheel nut key on Google'.
Yes, that's exactly what that was.
Oh.
I wonder if I *did* put it in the bin or if I just thought about it. Really hard.
Fortunately it would appear that common sense prevailed and it was found lurking in the shed.
