Remembered about this find from 2013, when doing the demolition part of a house refurbishment in Stamford Hill, London. It was behind a fitted cabinet in the master bedroom on the first floor. That piece of paper waited there locked for probably quite a few decades to be found, and it amuses me to this day, thinking that whoever put it there knew that one day someone will struggle to open it, and will have both a huge disappointment and a good laugh about it.
Combined forces of British politeness and humour.
Well played, sir! Well played!

They could have at least stuffed a fiver in there for good measure!
Better luck next time!
I’ve just spent more time than I care to admint searching for when this company folded. Still haven’t found the answer. Estimate is early 50s at latest.
They won’t just send a set of different keys, they’ll send ‘quite’ a different set of keys!
How did you get it open?
I would have left a spare key in it to add to the joke
Sorry for all the trouble.
