Mr John Rowbotham

(1) On a trip to Australia and on a Boat tour around Sydney Harbour.I Found myself standing Next to an ex work collegue from Nottingham whom I hadn't seen for a few years, He now lives on the Isle of Man, incredible. (2)On another trip to Australia I stopped Off in Kuala Lumpur. We took our evening meal in Private restaurant within the Hotel. One night I started a conversation with the people on the next table. They lived in the East Midlands(so did we). We are from Nottingham, I say. We are from Tamworth, they say. Oh I have an Aunt in Tamworth, I say. What name they say and I tell them. Oh we are good friends of hers they say in fact Mr----- (my Uncle) was my driving instructor and we were at an occasion with your Aunt only a few weeks ago. Hows that for a coincidence. (3) Some years ago I checked in at a hospital reception desk. I gave me name(Rowbotham), Oh replied the receptionist that was my maiden name. Next to me stood a lady waiting to check in also who said my name is Rowbotham also (perhaps a different spellings). What a coincidence three people brought together with the same unusual name.
