    I don't like this working, being responsible thing. I think it's directly attibutable to the number of keys you have.

    When you're a kid you don't have any at all. Then you get your front door key when you're a teenager. Then maybe a bike lock. Then a locker key.
    Then it's a car or motorbike key. Perhaps some more lock keys. Then it's multiple car keys, then front and back door keys. A numeric key to your bank account. A pin number. Multiple pin numbers.
    Keys online for this and that. A shed key, garage key. Key to the neighbours house.
    Key to the electic meter, key to the gas meter. Then a work key. Then you move! You get more keys, the old keys you keep in a drawer.

    You can chart your life by the number of keys you accumulate.

    Wish I didn't have keys again.
    It could be worse, you could be a permie.

    Throw away your old keys. Discard them like previous lovers and clientco email addresses.

    Also, your butler should sort this tulip out.

    I got into a bit of trouble at school by swapping over combination locks on the bicycles. The problem was the headmaster was confused on what rule I had broken so he let me off.

    It's been down hill since then really
    I agree. I had everything but the bird bit.

    The story of my life, really...
