Why isn't the possibility of theft mentioned? Easiest modern car to steal, probably in good nick, left on the street in Cheltenham which is full of criminals and scumbags - the old dear is right to be frightened of the place - surely it's been stolen

Finally, some good news from Cheltenham

Cheltenham car mystery: Couple find lost Ford Fiesta

An elderly couple who forgot where they parked their car have been reunited with the vehicle five days later. Emmanuel Elliott, 81, and partner Hilda Farmer, 79, left it somewhere near Cheltenham General Hospital on Friday, but could not remember where. It was found on Tuesday in a car park about 900m from the hospital and had been ticketed three times by wardens.

Aww this story. Just imagining the two oldies wandering around for hours getting more and more confused. Hope they get let off the tickets. And also that they maybe pack driving in

They don't need to pack in driving....just parking.

Happened me once...in Dingle, County Kerry.
Dingle is a lovely seaside / fishing village... but...in the summer it us swarmed with tourists and people wanting to see Funghi the dolphin....etc.etc...
I spent an hour trying to find a place to park and eventually found a spot. Parked...noted the yellow pub about 20 metres away on the corner and set off for a wander.
Had a lovely day.....went to the Creperie and had lovely crepes...Sat and looked out at the sea.....walked the narrow little streets and looked into the craft shops etc etc....had a pot of tea and a scone...

Then.. I went to find the car.
Do you know how many yellow pubs are in Dingle?
It took me two hours to find the car.
Dingle, the village part, is not big...
