We were drinking coffee at a cafe in Florida when the neighbours from two doors down walked past.
In Ibiza, we shared a table with some strangers because it was crowded. They came from Wallasey, we come from Devon. We had a friend who originated from Wallasey so I asked if they knew him. Got a “don’t be stupid” look but it happened that the woman worked with our friend’s mother.
When I was a PTA treasurer, our mail kept going to the school finance officer and she always opened it, despite it being addressed to me. We discovered she had the same name, including her middle name. Her husband had the same name as my husband’s brother and it turned out that as boys, they had played together when they met at a campsite.
