Thought they were boarding for Costa Brava, landed in Kaunas

Do you ever think sometimes the ground staff do these sort of things for a bet or shits & giggles.

They probably have a monthly pool, and this months winner was Eric that managed to send a couple of bams to Kaunas instead of Barcelona.

She said: "Each house has two car spaces but if its a three bedroom house and you three people with three cars, where's the other third person meant to park their car?

"If you wanted to sell the house, if people knew that you got the double yellow lines out there, I would say that would put people off."

With no warning, she claims.  Sounds like she's telling a porky.

Looking at Streetview than I can understand why there are double yellow lines. The real problem here is the way house builders make roads as narrow as possible so they can maximise the number of houses they can build, without giving any thought to how usable the roads will actually be once people start to live there.

I'd be wary of parking there as it must be a tight squeeze with bin lorries and the odd lorry that must pass from time-to-time.  I wonder why they didn't pinch a bit of space off the green area to the left -I assume some green space requirement vetoed that. 

I have to say I can understand the residents' point - where are visitors supposed to park unless there is some kind of communal car park nearby?

It's only when you read the article do you realise it involves Ryanair.  Pretty standard distance from the destination city I'd have thought.
