Many moons ago when I was 17 I was in a coffee bar looked across the room, thought it was a mirror, I was looking at myself, she looked back obviously thinking the same, we never spoke. Yes we all have a double somewhere but meeting it is weird.

Hi Whirley sorry for delay , was ironing D's kick boxing outfit...

Nope wasn't the one you did the search for ( he remains as elusive as ever lol ) if it had been that one I would have had him pinned to the table lol...and not in a 'romantic' sense :)

Spooky that Rose, is this the chap I did a search on for you once?? Let me know if you want an updated one done:)

Uncanny when things like that happen, I saw someone once who was the spitting image of my Dad (who had died in 1991). He drove by me in a car and just for a flash of a second, I saw my Dad again....it was quite comforting..

Sober as a judge Merlin, just a cuppa... : )

I have seen people who resemble others before, where you do a 'double take' but this was something else lol

I just had a very strange half hour. I was having lunch with son in A*da before starting shopping. And there 'he' was sitting across the cafe. Exactly the same as when I first met him.... 23 years ago , and 100s of miles from where I live now.

The 'love of my life' ( I thought at the time anyway. )Identical . Same eyes, mouth, nose , expression...I sat there like an eejit gawping. For years I wondered what I would say if I saw him again, and here I was silent.

Thinking...It couldn't be him of course it couldn't , it could be his son though... could I go up to his son and say ..."are you **** ? "

I sat there till he and the chap with him left.....
