Coincidence #2

Well I can't claim this one for my own. It really belongs to our Jane...

A few years ago, when the shop was still open, a couple of Mum's customers came in one day all excited. 

''You'll never guess what happened to us on holiday'' they said. Needless to say, Mum asked them to go on...

They were in Madrid, walking along the street smoking, when they were asked for a light by a young Spanish man.

He spoke quite good english and so they chatted for a bit. 

''Where are you from?'' he asked

''The Wirral'' they replied.

"I don't know it," he said, "but i do have friends in Bromborough - have you heard of it?"

They were laughing and explained that not only was Bromborough ON the Wirral, but that's where they were from. 

"Oh," he said. "in that case do you know my friend Jane? Her family have an Italian restaurant."

Well you can only imagine their response!

Turns out it was Miguel, a friend of Jane's who she'd met when living in Valencia in 1992 and (correct me if i'm wrong Janey) even shared a flat with for a few months.  

Totally random. Total coincidence!
