Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I would hope that it was the stress of a visit to hospital with her husband that caused a momentary aberration. If it were to happen again she ought to see her GP. Senility strikes different people at different ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff oakley Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Theses are light weights really. My wife and I drove to Amsterdam and I managed to lose the car and the multi-storey car park it was in. I was 24! We only found it after asking a Dutchman where all the multi-storey car parks were with a church next to it, there was 6 but it was the second we visited. I suspect it was easy to get disorientated for this couple in the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an excuse of exuberant pintage ............... It worries what chaos these people may cause on the roads and be totally unaware of causing it !

Blatman Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I came out of a pub stone cold sober a while ago and it took me an hour to find my car in an area I knew extremely well. As for when to stop, I attended a speed awareness course recently (yes, I know...) and three of the attendees (all women) didn't know what a dual carriageway was. I'm not sure those three should have been allowed to start driving in the first place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I drove my (then) fiancée and her parents to Sheffield for my future sister-in-law's graduation from Sheffield University - quite a long time ago... well mid 1960s if you must know. Short-form story is that we parked on a bombed-site car park and walked to the venue. All I can say is judging by the number of bombed-sites we had to visit to find my car, Sheffield took a bit of a thumping from the Luftwaffe in WW2!

DonPeffers Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 In Norwich, a few decades back, a friend aged 30 forgot where he'd parked his car; and he was sober. We gave up and walked back to the digs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Happens all the time with me , can never remember which level on multi story cp's Once reported it stolen in Manchester , I had parked 1/2 way up a side street off Oxford road , couldn't remember which one , after an hour or so of walking every side street i was convinced it had been nicked , the coppers found it parked , it had been partly concealed by a large van Another time I went up town to do some shopping , I walked home , grabbed a cuppa and settled down to watch footy ball , when swmbo arrives home she asks "were's the car " I then remembered I had gone up town in the car and had left it on the car park forgetting all about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan France Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 One of my favourites is to get back to the car early on the Dover/Calais ferry and watch people looking for their car. “I’m sure we left it on this level dear” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Gatwick Airport. After 2 weeks holiday, eating, drinking, sleeping and a few other things, I was about to report it stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Podmore Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Birmingham Airport every damned week after 2 or 3 days away. Now where did I park it this week? I'm just relieved when I arrive back after dark so I can walk around pressing the remote in the hope I see the lights flashing / come on.
