I showed him the problem and he said he'd take it into his workshop and see what he could do.
He came back out about a minute later with the lockring tightened. I said thank you and was all prepared to leave the shop when he told me he had tightened it with a screwdriver and hammer.
He then said to me 'that'll be £11.50 please".
The bike is now, back home, with the lockring tightened properly by myself, with no noticeable damage.
Hang on! The mechanic didn't have the correct tools bet still managed to carry out the repair effectively and without any damage! He's not a bodger, he's a genius!!
Go back, pay him double and then have his children!
