    Spendy day today - food, motion lotion. Could have been a lot worse though. My car has a hinged flap over the petrol cap which is locked when the car is locked. On pulling in to the petrol station I noticed the flap had been pushed in hard on one side and was stuck. Obviously some scrotebag had tampered with it whilst my car was parked at work. A call to the rescue service and fifteen minutes later a man with a van turned up. A couple of flicks with a plastic scraper and the flap was freed, no damage to it at all. Lucky, because if he had had to break it I would be looking at a huge bill to fix it. I knew that premium I pay for breakdown/roadside assistance was worth it!

    Just wish I could connect my car up to the National Grid when I leave it, that would sort the b*ggers out!
