Minor panic over lost keys

Slightly embarrassing news for the Metropolitan police who admit they have lost a set of Olympic security keys - evidence that it really can happen to the best of us. Anyone finding the keys, needless to say, should hand them in immediately. Fortunately apart from this all the other Olympic arrangements seem to bearing up well – the fears of overloading the transport system on Monday morning were not realised.

Lost keys is something businesses who rent serviced offices rarely have to face either because their premises have a staffed reception or replacement keys are easily available – though not from the Metropolitan police.
