Driving home from dinner with a friend tonight I realised I was getting low on petrol so I called at the Asda station that has one card only pump open. On the edge of town and quite dark.
At one of the closed and unlit pumps there was a fairly old car with a man climbing up to the roof. He was prising open the sun roof...with difficulty...and lodging screwdrivers in the gap. While I was there he put three or four screwdrivers in the small gap he was making.
Now I suppose he could have locked his keys inside but where was he getting the screwdrivers? And he looked a bit too large to squeeze through the sun roof.
No, I didn't ask...didn't hang about too long either....Five feet nothing and mugged once this week.
Any guesses? x
He'd been out for a night with the lads, but earlier his wife had said, "Be late, and I'll raise the roof", so he thought, "Sod her, I'll beat her to it".
Maybe it was a saloon and he'd left his boot open? Able to get to a tool box and get screwdrivers in order to prise open the sunroof(as you say) and make enough space to get in a wire coathanger or similar implement in order to retrieve his keys.
Suppose so Chill....my curiosity nearly got the better of me...odd place to be stopped as he couldn't have been filling up.
No....the brook isn't deep enough Trig...and we're miles from the sea.
If he had locked his keys inside he was probably as Chill says trying to open the sunroof enough to get his arm in and get the keys out of the ignition switch or get his hand on the door handle or pull the locking knob up.

So you won't want picking up for coffee, Ann? I have been invited to stay with an Aber......her husband said....Oh God, if she's coming let me know when so I can go away for a few days... :-(
Would he end up breaking the sun roof....why am I bothered? Really curious though.
