mutual friend

My brother is six years my senior. Just married, my then husband and myself went to live in Bahrain for two years - related to his job. I knew a couple of people in his company, having previously worked for the same business. We lived on compounds then, and would on occasion be invited to workmates' compounds for bbqs etc. One particular BBQ/Darts match was in full swing. Music playing - I was singing along to the music and the neighbour of the workmate said "I wouldn't have thought this was your era, you are too young." I told the neighbour I knew the music as it was my brother's era and therefore familiar to me, and we established that he and my brother were the same age. Conversation continued, and we amazingly discovered that we both came from Welling in Kent, and that he had attended Bexley Grammar School - where my brother and cousin (the same age) had been educated. Finally he asked their names - and believe it or not he knew both my brother and cousin - being in the same year at the School. I have never forgotten this set of coincidences. Regards. Leena
