It's small world....but I wouldn't want to have to paint it

Was stood at a bar the other day when a guy, noticing my Lancaster University t-shirt, turned to me and said he went there as well but was in a different college. I smiled, made minor chit chat and then walked away. To be honest it’s not a major coincidence as he was the third person I’d met in Brisbane who’d also gone to Lancaster Uni. However, about half an hour later we met at the bar again and he asked where I was from originally:

“North Wales” I replied and waited for the generic response along the lines of either ‘I’ve been to Wales’ or ‘I’ve got a mate from Wales maybe you know him’. Not this time….

“Not Colwyn Bay by any chance…?” he continued

“Uh… yeah, why?” I asked, a little confused by this stage and starting to wonder whether this was some crazy person who’d followed me across the world.

“I’m your next door neighbour”

You just can't escape it.....
