Man of Honour
I started evening classes at College 12 weeks ago and we did an experiment where one of us was blindfolded and our partner led us around the college.
One woman said that she actually did that with a proper blind person about 7 years ago and I said my wife was in a class with a blind woman.
After pictures were exchanged it appears that both me & the wife have been in seperate classes.
OK, perhaps not that small a world but out of a Stoke population of 250,000 not to bad a coincidence.
Not as good as this one though.
Last week we were talking about stuff and I mentioned my Nigerian connections.
One girl mentioned that she had lived out there between the ages of 1 to 4 and can't remember much about it.
I took her parents names and mentioned it to my mother.
It just so happened they were the best mates of my mother & father and lived in the bungalow next door which means that Kerry (the woman in my class) was part of my life in Nigeria.
My mother asked for their phone number but Kerry told me tonight that both her mum & dad had died.
I'm searching through old photos and videos now to see if I can cheer her up.
Wanna share some small world stories?
