Lost...Trying to impress a new girlfriend, I 'borrowed' my mother's car. Dropping her off in London, I managed to lose the car keys between locking it and reaching the other side of the road. Utter humiliation followed as my mum took the train to London with the spare key...
What have you lost over the years?

A goldfishWe used to have a couple of goldfish that my brother and I had won at the local funfair. One day the whole family went out and on our return we noticed that there was only one fish left in the bowl. Naturally the cat got the blame for eating Pinky (or Perky, it was difficult to tell them apart) but as there was no water around the bowl or incriminating paw prints he was let off with a stern warning.
Fast forward five years and Dad was replacing the carpet in the front room. He pulled up the carpet, then the underlay, and there on the floorboards was the remains of poor Perky (or Pinky). We've never been able to work out how he got there, possibly a failed attempt to tunnel his way to freedom?
