Wellies Required

Received a call from a man recently who said he needed a door opened, as there was no keys. He asked me if I had wellingtons, strange request I thought at first. He went onto say that the door was located below ground level and was flooded. I went to the location put on my wellies and in I went. The water level was only about an inch from the top of the wellies. Carefuly wading in, made my way to the door and opened it within a couple of mins. After opening and changing the lock, I waded back up to dry ground again. Measuring the water mark on my wellies it was 13", any more than this it would have been a snorkel and flippers job. Just goes to show a locksmiths ability to adapt to different siuations and requests. (By the way It's not my blke in the picture)
