i left my car for 2 minutes outside a shop, and when i came back it had a flat tyre! bit odd i thought, tried driving to nearest garage for some air, but it was totally flat and the tyre was getting ruined. So i spent about half an hour rolling round in the road trying to jack it up, using a pair of pliers to turn the jack. bloody hard.

so, i wasted half an hour, got filthy and probably laughed at by all the rush hour traffic. My life might've even been risked! plus the tyre is pretty screwed.

so what? flat tyres happen... except i blew this one up and it hasnt gone flat since! thats 2 day ago now, and still solid.

so im pissed of, cos that cursed foreign shop keeper has taken a diabolical liberty with me.

so what to do gentlemen?!

suggestions on a postcard to mr patel in chapeltown...

you know how they remove a lamb's tail?

apply the same concept to a human male, but using cable ties.

not waht to do to the said guy but..........


carry a spare in a can, save u a tyre one dat maybe ?

I was thinking the same Jon - get some Slime!!! Save embarrasements... for a few quid!

Last time I left a car in Chapeltown I didn't see it for two days. I collected it from the Police pound with no petrol and two knackered tyres.

I saw mystic river last night - so dont blame the shopkeeper - it may just have been a kid or a sticking valve if you filled the tyre recently

Get a proper jack with a proper handle or join the AA. You could go in the shop and ask to use his phone to call them.

also check you valve cap for stones as they will let the air out without anyone knowing
