Help! she won't start

[b19aus]

Tried to start motor this morning,all fuelled up, battery level good. As soon as I turn the key no starter motor. Only thing that kicks in is the car alarm.
Been as good as gold, normally starts first time every time. Very damp around here this morning.
Any ideas anyone?

Don't you have to put your foot on brake to move the auto out of park or press the whatchamacallit button.

Good old fashioned jump start and I'm back on the road. All seems fine, battery gauge at over 3/4.No change with lights on but have now noticed that it changes when the indicators are on?????

Problems again this morning but started immediately as soon as jump leads were connected. Went to local Formula 1 this am and was told offside battery was faulty. Went to Jet tyres for 2nd opinion who said batteries and alternator were ok.
In the end went to local mechanic. He reckons that it may be celluloid. says that if cold start does not work in th emorning he will be straight round to have a look.
Whats the betting that she starts first time!!!!!!!!!!!!
