What they will say is you"ll need too go too local co-op (well co-op in my case) and buy a new key.

I was charged £8.

Then you need too top it up. >:( (just becarefull as it may need charging first).

You can get an emergency key from your local top-up place, they charge about 8 quid for it though.

The helplines for lost keys are normaly only manned 8-8

ive noticed that the key ring tht the key was on has broke a bit so i'm thinking its dropped off somewhere and ive not noticed when ive took my keys out my pocket

Never heard of those - I thought you had to put coins in.

We just do DD with ours and get the occasional real bill with guessed ones inbetween
