The Family Picnic - the Usual Disaster
A bunch of us have birthdays in August so to celebrate, we went to Rosetta and had a gourmet picnic. As usual, there is the family disaster - an outing just wouldn’t be the same without it. This time it was the sister in law - locked the keys in the car boot - a Volvo car boot, and with the house keys attached. If you’re going to cock up on a Sunday afternoon, make a good job of it.
After some pathetic attempts to get in, a locksmith was called from Maritzburg. He prised the upper corner of the driver’s door open a little with a nylon wedge and then used an inflatable wedge to open it a little more. This wedge is sort of like a small hot water bottle with a bulb on one end. You get most of it through the crack and then pump it up to open the door a little more. Apparently, you have to be registered locksmith to get one of these.
