While I was there I spotted this
The tyre guy said a pikey had come in and said "I think I've got a puncture cos it went down last night. Can you repair it for me"
This is why it went down
Fortunatly it was on a twin wheel van so it wasn't too bad but still, how can you not notice when you check around your vehicle before you drive off.
