Off topic but.....

Being a child of the seventies I remember, after a cracking day out on the beach in Pembrey being sat in the family wagon, (a burgundy Morris Marina) little brother alongside in the back, Mum in the driver's seat when she asked "where did you two get this fluffy dice from .......... oh fuckin'ell get out of the back, we're in the wrong car!"

Out we went, Mum locked the car with her car key and off we went to find our own burgundy Marina🤣.

I did a similar thing with a Gold Triumph Acclaim someone parked outside my Gran's house unlocked, which was more or less identical to my Gran's, which was usually in the garage.

BL keys seemed to be made in a limited number of combinations, my Mum once locked her keys in her Metro & asked to borrow someone else's keys & one of them worked!

The older Ford ones were similar, & the tibbe ones had a quirk where a key could lock any lock! The company car pool at the company where my Uncle worked fell foul of this a few times!

I stopped at some services on the M6 a few years ago with an Enterprise van ( Renault Master). When we returned someone had parked an identical van next to ours, with the reg a couple of numbers different in sequence. I had to check the key fob to get the right one.
