In those days, the AA didn't change tyres!

Nobody stopped to help me either, but I got a lot of honking (but that may have been geese).

lol

That's how I wrecked my shoes! No way could I move the wheel nuts by hand, so I put my foot on that tool thingy........ ok, I don't know tools either! It was a long time ago, I think I weighed about 54 Kg (a VERY long time ago).

And I still don't know the name of that tool thingy. Too big to be called a spanner.

Many years ago on the way to Orford Ness, I came across a mini traveller (Ithink it was)that had a flat tyre, no way would she have been able to release the wheel nuts with the stoopid little bent bit of iron spanner that was part of the toolkit!!

as a Fork lift engineer I had the right bit of kit....

That is changing a wheel.

A tyre takes longer and doesn't half make you sweat!
