Piccadilly

I was attending a party some years ago in America in a remote Massachuses town Westport , I think, during the party I was sailing people across a river and back for fun. A family that I didn't know got in and we started to talk about England and it's oddities.....I told them that if ever they visited London that they should walk down Piccadilly where they will meet someone they know. They laughed at this and of course didn't believe it. They were not thinking of visiting England or anywhere else outside America so it was highly unlikely. Some years later I had returned to England and one day was walking down Piccadilly and to my amazment the family I had met briefly back in America was walking towards me! I said "told you so..." we all laughed and after a few friendly words departed to continue on our way. Strange in a way, I thought as it was such a weird meeting we should all celebrate or at least had a drink to talk about it....but no we just said goodbye and went our separate ways......
