Woman, 77, locked in public toilet overnightPolice started a missing person alert for a great-grandmother - only for her to turn up 12 hours later having been locked in a public loo overnight. Gwyneth Coles, 77, of Pickering, North Yorkshire, got locked in the town's toilets after nipping in following a bus journey on Monday evening. Although an attendant locking up shouted to check the building was empty, he failed to hear her answer. "I thought, I'm here for the night, they're closed and I've been forgotten and they don't open 'til seven tomorrow morning what am I going to do?" said Mrs Coles. The resilient great-grandmother put on four jumpers she had in her bags and settled down for a night under the tiles. But salvation came when the caretaker returned at 0700 BST on Tuesday morning and found her inside. Flushed council officials apologised and sent Mrs Coles a bunch of flowers. With news video.
