Weird or what?

How fascinating, LouLou, and a shame that you did not arrange to meet again over coffee somewhere. I would have found it difficult to tear myself away!

I hope you will meet again and continue your discussion. Parallel lives are certainly possible.

This woman and I did not look like each other at all, but seem to have had so many similarities in our lives it wad very strange.. so many coincidences.

I have no examples but things like this fascinate me.

That used to happen to me when I lived in Hull. Whoever she was must have looked so much like me because total strangers would accuse me of ignoring them and would be difficult to convince that I wasn't who they thought I was.

Strange things do happen. I had a doppleganger living half a mile down the road. I enquired about a camera in a shop only to be told "I told you this camera is not available" but I had just arrived. The assistant said I had been in ten minutes earlier asking about the exact camera. The woman's DD once chased after me in the supermarket shouting "mum".
DH's aunts used to tell him that I had walked straight past them in the street when I hadn't been out that day. A lady got on my bus and walked up to me, called me by this other woman's name and asked after my mother. My mother had just died a few days before, I am beginning to wonder whether she gave birth to twins
