a liberty has been taken
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...

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.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i've got one! i always make a point of having it in the boot, along with an extendable wrench. Unfortunately its under the project whilst i
fiddle the camber! bad timing.
the only reason i suspect the shopkeeper is that he's complained about parking before, and threatened to paint someones car before. arsewipe, im
in that shop all the time being polite to him and his wife. just annoying cos the tyre is quite worn on the wall now and should really be binned. and
im skint nowadays...
