Lad leaves note on F-type Jaguar asking for lift to prom and owner agrees

As the old saying goes, if you don’t ask you don’t get, and this young lad certainly proved that to be true recently.

Olen Howden would walk past an F-type Jaguar parked in the staff car park at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary on his way to school.

The 16-year-old decided to leave a cheeky note on the windscreen asking if he could get a lift to prom, and to his surprise he actually got a response from the owner.

Olen, a pupil at Ripley St Thomas CE Academy in Lancaster, was buzzing to hear back from the owner of the car, Dr Marwan Bukhari, a consultant rheumatologist at the Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust.

According to Dr Bukhar: “Olen is a very enterprising young man. He left a note for me behind the screen wash in a plastic bag. I was very happy to drive him to his prom.”
