HELP Somebody please!

Please don't ask me to explain how this happened for I genuinely have no
idea myself but having done some routine checks of my engine this
morning and closed the hood, I now find I can't open the thing!

If I pull the spring loaded hood release level from inside the car, the
catch releases and of course the hood springs up into its resting
position but somehow from that point onwards, it remain stuck. I can't
then lift the lid to get at the engine and I have no idea how to solve
this problem. Please help somebody because this isn't a laughing matter.
I will obviously need to get at the engine at some stage in the very
near future.

If anyone has any suggestions at all that don't involve boring into the
car, then please help.

Regards,

William
