Same school.

I visited Uzbekistan on a solo holiday as somewhere I had wanted to visit for many years. The group of 26 met up at Heathrow and we were told we were waiting for a woman to join us from a South African flight. As the only flights to Uzbekistan are twice a week from Heathrow, plus a few from Madrid and Rome, and within Asia, this was understandable. We flew to Tashkent where we stayed for one night before taking an internal flight to Urgench then to travel on by coach to Khiva. We were all solo travellers so got talking. In the three seats behind was the woman from South Africa. My row of three got up to visit the loo, and the row behind us joined the queue. The South African asked me did she overhear me say I lived in Hereford and I confirmed this; she then said she'd been to school in Abergavenny (26 miles down the road). I replied that so had I - we had gone to the same grammar school at the same time, she was three years ahead of me. We spent the rest of the flight reminiscing about our teachers; and continued with other reminiscences throughout the holiday.
