Had a senior moment the other morning. Had to collect a hire bulk trailer at silly o’clock. Checked height and gently reversed and it didn’t click. Tried again. No joy. Jumped out to check I hadn’t missed a lock on the pin. No lock. Tried once more. Still no joy. Started scratching my heado then realised …yup. too embarrassed to even write it

Hadn’t checked to see if your jaws were open?
