...... at the supermarket check-out when you realise you've dropped your car and house keys .... As happened to me this morning.

It's got a Waitrose card fob on the key ring and I knew I'd last used it at the cafeteria. I enquired at the cafeteria and customer services but no-one had handed anything in.

However, in between times, I'd left Mrs O to have a browse round the store whilst I had high-tailed it across to the Post Office to renew the Road Tax. Raced back there - and yes, they had them behind the counter. Blessed relief!

In a way, this has been an accident waiting to happen. The trouble is I have one of those Rohan outdoor coats, and fitted inside the pockets are all sorts of strange cord-lines and toggles. Things get snagged on them, and it is easy to accidentally pull things out without noticing. I think for safety's sake I'll be snipping off the cords in future .....

Men's jacket pockets and car keys, what can I say?

Put a man in charge and they are the perfect combination. Not.

So pleased you got the keys back easily done

Yikes! So easily done though Ossie! Really glad you got them back xxx

Glad you got them back, Ossie.

Losing my keys is something I have always dreaded.
I always keep mine in a trouser pocket, on a key-ring together with an "Acme Thunderer" whistle
(remember them?) that I've had from when I was a lad, (just in case I should ever need to get help).
