In the 1980s an elderly couple drove from Birmingham to Plymouth to take the car ferry to Santander.
They carefully followed all the signs "To the Car Ferry" and drove on to the ferry when waved forward.
The ferry set off, and a few minutes later arrived at Torpoint, across the Tamar/Hamoaze. Slightly confused at not having had time for a good rest, but prepared to make the best of it, they drove off the ferry. As they did so, they stopped to ask a crew member the best way to Madrid.
They were returned on the same ferry, with some advice about how to get to the Santander ferry.
