But becareful where you take it as some places willl only replace rather than repair causing you an unnecesssary bill.
If the object is a screw then it has effectivley caused the puncture and paradoxically repaired it at the same time, and you may well be able to ride it around for a while until it is convinient for you to get it fixed.
There is a nationwide repair/recovery company called SOS 08442 484858, who can come to you.
Hope this helps you.

Hi Martin. Thanks for the nod on SOS, really helpful guy. Cannot help on the repair due to size, but gave me some good pointers. Really helpful guy, and worth remembering.
Am now resigned to not riding over the reast of the weekend, and plan to get it all sorted on Monday/Tuesday.
Thanks to all for the pointers, and help.
