drove twenty miles to the mot station to get the wifes fiat panda a new ticket. 6 years not one thing has went wrong with it, sitting outside and i get called in and it wont start

. pushed the wee wombles round the carpark and near killed myself trying, rolled it down the hill and bumped it,nothing, so mot failed...

called my dad who came up and towed me home which wasnt easy,dear love him being towed by an 81 year old was nervy. called into the guy i normally get the car serviced by and he walks out, looks at and puts his foot under the car and gives the petrol tank a good kick and it fires up

. petrol pump gets sticky on them he says.....

I am officially a total idiot.
I've just spent an hour trying to get my seat off because the lock mechanism had jammed. Eventually managed to move the catch with a long screwdriver, after masses of swearing, shouting (which my neighbours will have heard), and bruising and scraping my hands and wrists.
Even after I had the seat off I couldn't see why the key mechanism was jammed.
My VTR key has a red dot on to identify it. Red bike, red dot. My CB key doesn't. Guess which key I've been trying to unlock it with.
