My old man many years ago was going up Northumberland Street in Newcastle ( before it became a no go area ) his silencer dropped off so he jumped out ran back for it picked it up to put in his boot . Forgot it was red hot and his hand stuck to it , Screams of pain as he threw it up the street .
Also he dropped his keys down the drain while opening his door spent hours with a cup trying to empty it and a bit of wire , my mother shut up she dare not say anything ( i.e. have you not got them yet you have been on ages ) the old mans face was thunder.
He taught me a good lesson keep away from drains .
