Years ago I saw my former best friend from school in town. She moved away a year or so before. We were in our teens by then and had been very close for years, I was bridesmaid at her sisters wedding. I was so pleased to see her! 'Hello' I called out but she just looked at me. I said 'It's me!' Her eyes were totally blank and her response was 'Sorry but I don't know you.' At that point the penny actually dropped and I apologised and made a hasty retreat. She said that it happened all the time and I could believe it. I have to say this girl was the exact double of my friend - hair, face, everything. They say we all have a double??

I must have a double as a colleague once insisted she saw me in a market town which I rarely visit. She went on and on despite my protests that it wasn't me. "You looked right through me, you ignored me, you didn't say hello, etc". No, it still wasn't me.

Funny thing is, my sister's husband has a double in that exact same town, he even drives the same model of car. Imagine if the two were seen together. That's how rumours start!

Although we are much more mobile these days, there are still families who stay in the same area. I live in an area where an awful lot of people look just like me!
