Default Flat tyre, possibly valve? Surrey area.

Hola

Went to my bike just now, back tyres virtually flat, luckily I live milliseconds away from a shell garage. Went to pump it up, valve doesn't seem to want to let air in (nothing happening from the sound of things) when I press the valve pin it lets air out. I know the pump is working as a kind chap moved his car round and tried it on his car tyre which worked fine. So I'm a bit stuck, I live in Weybridge, have no other means of transport and can't find anything near by to repair/swap the tyre out...

Anyone got any superb ideas on how to sort this out? Mobile tyre repair is as expensive as a high class hooker but without the guaranteed happy ending!

He's just over 5 miles from Weybridge. Get yourself over there for top class servicing and surreal humour.
