 A funny thing happened to me the other day. I was in a hurry to get to work and I found that my car wasn’t working. I had to rush out of the house to catch the bus. While I was walking along the street, I noticed a woman of about my age on the opposite side of the road. I looked at her again and I realized that we have met before. She arrived at the bus stop a couple of seconds after me. ‘She must be catching the bus, too,’ I thought. We had just missed the previous bus and we had fifteen minutes to wait before the next one. I looked at the woman behind me again and I was sure that I knew her. ‘Excuse me, have we met before? I’m sure that I recognize you,’ I said. She looked a bit surprised, but she told me that her name was Angela Barker. ‘You had been studying history at Liverpool University’ I shouted, ‘from 1985 to 1988!’ ‘That’s right!’ she replied, ‘And you’re Claire …?’ ‘Lewis. Well, my name was Lewis but I was married now. What do you do nowadays?’ I asked. ‘Well, I have been working in the Central Museum in town and I have been living in this area, in George Street, for about three years,’ she replied. ‘You’re joking! I live round the corner from there. I don't believe it! We have been neighbours for three years and we have never seen each other!’ I said. ‘I know, it’s incredible!’ she agreed, ‘And I’m glad that you spoke to me because I wondered why you were looking at me all the time!’
