WILLIAM! A mix up in his holiday arrangement left a Leeds print worker
stranded in a Cleethorpes police cell and started a missing persons alert. Mr
William Farndale, who is hard of hearing, misunderstood where he was supposed
to meet his family at the start of their weeks holiday and ended up at the
wrong seaside resort. While his family waited in vain for him to arrive in
Filey, North Yorkshire, Mr Farndale was in Cleethorpes wondering where they had
gone. When he had not arrived by Saturday his wife, Rosemary became worried and
contacted the police. Meanwhile, Mr Farndale had spent hours of fruitless
search of Cleethorpes for Flat 2, Mitford Street, the address of the holiday
flat in Filey. Cleethorpes Police told him that there was no such address in
the resort and offered to put him up in the cells for the night. Mr
Farndale gratefully accepted. Unaware of his family’s concern, he returned home
to find he was locked out. He borrowed some money from a friend and booked
himself into the Boundary Hotel in Leeds. Meanwhile, the police were becoming
so worried they released an appeal for information of his whereabouts. His
new holiday venue we finally emerged and the family have now been able to get
on with enjoying their week in Filey, but totally unflustered Mr Farndale
has decided to spend the rest of his holiday in the Leeds hotels. Proprietor Mr
Geoff Potter said today turn on “He has taken the whole thing very calmly and can't
really understand what all the fuss is about. He is very happy here and has
been enjoying a few trips around the countryside. He has become a bit of a
celebrity with the other guests.”
