It's a flat tyre - and it's a VW Golf.

If it's a local garage that put the nut on, and you ask them nicely, I'm sure they'll send someone out to undo it for you once you explain it is their fault.
Failing that, give your reg to a motor factor such as Jim Barkers, or even a dealer, and see if they have one that fits in stock.

You can always fill the tyre with tyre weld to get you to a garage . Maybe someone with a car can get some for you.

Can I have my kiss and dry bum now?

I have a plan tomorrow. Going to get the missus to drive it to her step dads house and call from there, and hopefully they can change the tyre as well.
 

**** sake, just checked the nuts again, and 3 out of the 4 tyres have these nuts which I can't get off, so I must be able to - being a bit of a spanner me thinks.

I don't want to make you out to be daft or anything, but if your car is reasonably aged, you should have a little plastic box with the key and spare nuts inside it . Possibly in the bag with your wheel wrench or in the glove box.
They normally look like a socket. You put the key over the nut, and the back of the key goes into your wrench.

I have that. It's like got rivets in it, but that only fits one wheel on the car. The other 3 are hexaganol, the same shape as the normal nuts, but slightly larger plus they have a kind of slight dome effect to them.

you use the key for the locking nuts, it fits on and then your wheel brace, your wheel brace should fit the others
