Proper MG spare key
3
Although I do have an all metal spare key, I've been meaning to get a proper wobbly MG blank key to get cut as another spare for ages.
Well I finally got one off ebay and took it into a little Timpsons shoe repair and keys cut counter within our local Morrisons.
The guy said 'Well I can't give you a guarantee because it's your blank.
I said that's OK, and he went off and cut the key for me.
There you go, says he, and hands over my lovely new key.
How much do I owe you?
That's OK no charge, as it's your own blank.

Picks myself up off the floor! ...but you must want something for your time?

No that's OK, it's fine!
I was flabbergasted, but thanked him effusively and wandered to the exit in a daze!
And the key works fine. :trophy:
