Pad locks

[Pool-Champ]

on the kit for Raleigh it states that you have to get padlocks/key. Does it HAVE to a pad lock with a key? Or can I get a combination lock?

Thanks in advance.

If you re-read the letter it says padlock, not combination lock.

Thank you.
With a key you can loose, with a combination you can't.
Where do you put the key?

This shite is becoming duller than a lunar eclipse. I thought for a second this must be a wah, but surely nobody could lower themselves to this level of mongnest chasing a bite. Then again we have the three mongo's, Leo, Dim & Jiz. :roll:

Which make of padlock is best? Does it matter if it is galvanized? What metal is best? :wink:

Dont be harsh, I miss Higs, and I got done as a nod with an "insecure locker", £100 fine, in 1985 that was shitloads of money! Put the key on a string necklace, whack it around your neck. For PT tuck it into your shoe, swimming, your trunks.

Once you pass out you can grow up and get a combo lock. If your really lucky you'll get drafted somewhere with a good bunch of lads and have no need to lock your locker.
