    Any suggestions please? I’m at Fairport at Cropredy and I’ve lost my camper keys :(

    I presume the big yellow taxi is on the cards!
     
  2. The keys are in some shoes

  5. Have you got a steering lock on the van? If yes, it will be the yellow taxi.

    Bum, forgot about steering lock! :(

    I can get in the van as couldn’t lock it. Van has been searched thoroughly and shoes empty :(

    hopefully breakdown will cover lost keys :)

    You should always hide a spare somewhere on the camper , there's plenty of hidden places :thumbsup:

    Ps, get Sarah to do the Hash Harriers run tomorrow morning, usually meet in front of the stage, but they announce it on the big screen too…. There’s free beer at the end :beer:

    I have a spare at home. I think I will get another cut (when I get home)

    festival good @Jack Tatty but it’s so hot we are only going to the main arena once the sun has abated a bit. We’ve been off to pubs ( in sarah’s pick up) to cool down. :)

    We can hear the alternative stage from the van which is music we prefer tbh.

    I’ve tried my mates T2 key but no joy :( as they have a spare.

  11. If you didn't have the lock, easy to hot wire a Bay and drive home. But you have one :(
     
  12. Think Positive, someone will find them and hand them in
     
  13. Good point. I seem to remember doing just that some years ago. Problem is I haven’t a clue where I put it :rolleyes:

    Long story …but it involves lost keys!

    last year camping at Church bay Anglesey ( lovely ) There was a fun couple close by, he was a very tattooed Brummy who had never been camping in his life and only wanted to go to Crete but couldn’t due to covid. His Mrs was ( shall we say controlling )determined he would like it. He was so proud that he had got a 10 man tunnel tent on ebay for £100.There was only the 2 of them. He was great fun, showed off his inflatable king size bed etc.etc.
    During their stay of 2 days they were mainly absent at the local pub, with a few of his other mates and their wives.

    On The last day he was packing up his monstrous tent. Effin and blinding as he tried to roll it up and push the air out.
    About an hour later with it chucked in the back of his Van…. He couldn’t find his keys.
    Enter me with the “ helpful suggestion “…….you didn’t put them in that convenient little bag in the tent did you ?
    By now a few lovely people had come around to see the theatrics.
    He went ballistic, in a very nice way, tore the tent out of his van , retrieved his keys, said to his wife “ never, ever again and held an impromptu auction for his tent. Somebody bid him £50 and he sold it ! His wife wasn’t happy but she and every body around had a great laugh.
