A coincidence from a couple of weeks ago.
I spent most of my life from age 8 to 47 in Nottingham and now live in Lincolnshire. Visits to Nottingham for shopping are rare. (I work on the outskirts of Nottingham city centre, though.)
2 weeks ago, my wife and I were in the Victoria Centre, Nottingham, shopping. I was thinking to myself, "All that time I lived in Nottingham, and yet I never see anyone I know." Then the name "Kane" (my nephew) popped into my head as a random example of someone I might see. Then Kane came round the corner and into view.
I barely know Kane, except for occasionally meeting him at family get togethers. We get on perfectly well, but I suspect he would need reminding who I was if he met me out of context.
However, despite all the many former schoolmates, former work colleagues, former neighbours, former sports club friends, and so on that I never happen to bump into "in town" this was the 2nd time I have passed within yards of him when in Nottingham.
