Nahh , Got locked in a Bus depot once. Found a phone in office and
rang the main depot two miles away .Sods didn't believe me, said I was
winding them up and put the phone down accompanied by *laughter in the
background.
Third time I managed to state that it was getting bloody cold and I
was going to start a Bus up to keep warm. down went the phone.
So I started a Bus up and then noticed it had two way radio. *A call
made to whom it may concern that The Bloke locked in the depot has got
a Bus started and the next stage is to drive it through the closed

the first place.

Good heavens! I once got locked in the Everton ground. Just for fun I
went and stood right in the middle of the pitch. It was extremely
dark. Eventually I got out by banging on the door that communicates
with the functions area, where there was something going on.

Could you not find the switch for the floodlights?

I never thought of that. Actually I couldn't find anything much. I
didn't have a torch and was incredibly dark, considering the place is
surrounded by streetlights. Thinking about it now, I think it must
have been a very clear night with little light reflected from the
clouds. I'd been working in a room just off the tunnel, using the side
of the pitch as the route to the van (in the car park). When I
finished it had got dark, and I more or less felt my way to the big
gate that was vehicle access onto the pitch, which of course was
locked. So I groped my way back, and for a while I was stumped. I
considered ringing 999 but in fact I found my way to where some sort
of event was happening.

I got locked in a pub once while delivering. Eventually I managed to
break out and escape . . .
