I was sauntering on M G Road, when I saw a well-dressed driver (he probably owned the car) who seemed to be lost and looking for direction.

“Can I help you, sir,” I asked him. “Oh, thank you. Where can I find a park.....?” “Oh, you are looking for Cubbon Park. Go straight ahead and you will stumble upon Queen Victoria and the area behind that is Cubbon Park.”
