STRANGE BUT TRUE

We emigrated to South Africa in 1983, eventually we lived in the Weltevreden Park area of Roodeport in Jo'berg. My wife shopped at the Hyperama, which is located there. One day, a lady waiting at the checkout ran the trolly into my wife's heel. After much apology, they ended up chatting and went back to the house for coffee. Both families ended up great friends, and the couple became God parents to our daughter in 1987. They were originally from Kidlington in Oxford, and there surname was G. Meanwhile, on one of my wife's trip's back to the UK to visit family in 1986, (we are from Greater Manchester), she called to visit her sister, who lived in Worsley. They ended up chatting to her sisters next door neighbour, who had relatives in the Kidlington area of Oxford. An elderly relative had recently died and left a ring to his nephew, who had emigrated to South Africa a few years before. The neighbour asked my wife, if she knew anyone with the surname of G, who were originally from Kidlington. Now that's a co-incidence. You can imagine the surprise of our friend, when my wife gave him the ring on her return to Jo'burg. Both families have now returned to The UK, and we remain good friends. Our friends father is now 91 years old, and he recently showed us some photo's of his brothers wedding, which was in an area of Greater Manchester called Walkden, where we had lived prior to emigrating to South Africa in 1983. It happened to be in the same church where our son had been christened in Walkden. On another issue, my daughter and i are forever ringing each other at the same time, and picking up e mails within seconds of being sent. My wife say's that she is more like me, than i am.
