Globbits !!

Here's a little cautionary tale for you....
Went to the company christmas dinner on friday  Happily looking forwards to my meal, I pulled up in the carpark outside, locked the car and went inside....
Excellent meal was had  ........
...Time came to go home
So, out i go - and the car wont unlock  Key just refuses to turn. So, after fiddling around with the key for a few minutes, I happen to look up into the car, and I notice dangling in the ignition lock..... are the ignition keys.....
In my hand... the keys to my Works trannie...... Any ford TIBBE key will lock, but only the right one will unlock....
*&%$(@£ !!!!!!
After calling myself various shades of pillock, i was left with this
All thanks tho go to Woodgates Scrappy in Kent who sorted out my "draft" problem for a very reasonable £15
So.... if you own more than one ford... only carry one set of keys at a time ! 
PS: For those interested, Woodgates currently have 4 scorps in, including a Cossie - and i happened to espy two crash damaged estates, both with what appeared to be GWO self leveling shocks.......

Quite right,we old Ford users have discovered this in the past, much to our chagrin and expense
There are entry methods without damage,but it would appear too late for you !

Last time I locked keys in the ignition we managed to get a bit of wire in, turn the ignition on and open a window

Yeah, under the **** ****** is a good place to secure a spare key should you forget to take your stupid pills.
I don't think I should've told you that, but I trust you all, and you don't know where I live.
