'Windermere Triangle' car lock mystery cracked

A mystery which has been baffling motorists in a Lake District town for months has been solved.

Electronic car key fobs have failed to work around Crescent Road in Windermere, resulting in the area being dubbed the "Windermere Triangle".

Motorists have been unable to get in or out of their cars and security vans have been left stranded.

The culprit has now been revealed as the hand-held wireless devices used to take orders at a nearby bistro.

Previously, a set of traffic lights and even a local ghost known as Albert had been blamed for the problem.
