I'm going to drop them an email as they are supposed to be winter boots but are letting water in around what is presumably the rivet joint for the toe slider, lucky old me picking up a pair with a flaw maybe...!

When you take your bike to a mechanic to fit a new chain, your kind Mrs rides it home for you, in the rain, and the next morning the bike looks like this!

Seriously rich stupid people.

Have your bag stolen in which you have bank cards, a purse with £400 and your PINs for the cards written on a piece of paper.
Then claim that each bank account for which the cards work has £85,000 in it. Add in the proof of address and the car keys with the reg number on a tag.

THEN demand a black cab to get you home. (Sorry we only do minicabs here)

And then! Get this. Try and recharge the return journey when you have your spare keys?!??!?
