I went out to my car this morning and triggered the central locking button on my key fob, nothing happened. I visited the electronic centre this afternoon and bought a spare battery which I fitted to the key fob. When I retried still no signal. Rebecca arrives home from work and has to knock the window as our wireless doorbell has stopped working.
I look out the window to see two neighbours having problems with their central locking, after a chat i find they have experienced problems all day. A quick drive down the road finds full reception within 25 yards of the house in both directions. Ofcom have some information about this here:

I can't work out what it is, we are pretty close to the city airport so it could be something there swamping the signal, although many a conspiracy theory is rattling through my brain at the moment. Where's the tinfoil? i need to make a hat. ;-)
