Revealed: The top 50 things Brits forget on a daily basis

Brits forget an average of 1,095 things a year, such as their partner’s phone number, birthdays – and where they’ve parked the car.

The study also found one in four adults believe stress causes them to forget things.
And a third claim a lack of memory has impacted on their confidence and even
