Took my youngest to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 yesterday. Car park was packed but found a space at the back of some dumpster. Got back 3 hours later and boy says "dad is your engine still running?". Turns out in the rush to get to the film before it started I'd neglected to turn off the engine and lock doors (perils of using smart key where you never taken them out your pocket). Thankfully all resolved but fuel was at lowest I've ever seen it. Luckily petrol station was only half a mile away. All's well that ends well but could have been quiet embarrassing to say the least...! 

btw - that's the first time I've filled the tank since January. Perk of working from home. Tank should last me now until around August :wink3:

I've stood at the car wandering why it wouldn't lock quite a few times as it kept bleeping at me.

Got back in the car, checked everything, lights, brake on, and noticed after a while the engine was still running.

Amuses the wife.....

Lucky the local plod didn't spot the unattended car with it's engine running...

Probably more lucky the car was actually still there! Insurance would certainly have refused to pay out on that one.

I know Peter - close call in more ways than one.... Not sure what I'd have been able to claim on in insurance if the worst happened. Absolutely no excuses for me on that one...
