Disconnected my battery charger this morning and took it out of the van, hung the extension lead on the garage door handle and drove off to work.

Stopped at a large roundabout at the traffic lights when the guy in the next lane winds his window down "you've got a rope hanging out of yer van mister!"

Jumped out to find thirty feet of extension lead minus the plug stretched back under the line of traffic behind. Must have looped itself over my towbar!  ::)

Just checked the damage - not too bad one of the freezers got dragged accross the garage and the sack of spuds were all over the floor.  :-[
