Real nasty turn today. Accidentally locked in loo of our holiday cott. Locked in downstairs bathroom. No one around. No window. Zero signal. Tried 999 but no signal. 15 per cent battery. “Please connect charger” flashes out at me. Calm for about 20 mins.then Started shouting. Banging on door. To whom?. Had to dig deep…. think like a girlguide/army officer. What was available?
1)loo roll
2)plastic loo.brush
3)The other end of the faulty door handle that had come off in my hand.
4)My stud earrings
5)My clothes and rubber welly goloshes.
5b) My phone with collapsing reading glasses tucked in back of case
6)My teeth
In desperation walked round and lay on floor and stood up and stretched to ceiling waving my phone desperate for a signal. Just one teeny weeny bar?
Eventually noticed small drawer under sink. Pulled open to reveal a small fixing pack for a mirror or other object.
2 rawl plugs
2 screws
1 allen key l shaped thing
But the greatest of these boons? The collapsible reading glasses!.
Managed to insert screws into wooden hole and after 25 mins careful wiggling, bring bar out and them “clunk”- heard door handle on other side fall to floor and with one pill.of locking bar I was free….
