It's my wife on the phone. She sounds hysterical. "How the hell do you turn this stupid car on?" It's so nice to hear your loved one's dulcet tones blaring out of the handset in an open-plan office. "There's no start button and no key hole," she says. "Have you looked next to the steering wheel, darling, where it normally is? Or checked if it's keyless entry?" I smile to myself, smugness warming me to the core. "Good grief! Of course I have," she says in exasperation. Finally, unable to start it, she abandons the car and waits for a bus. Foxed by an Audi"
