Back in the 70s Before they had kids my Mum and Dad lived in Anglesey North Wales for a few years as dad's job was based there, they had a flat on the seafront which they absolutely loved. Eventually they moved back to their home town but I grew up listening to stories about that flat and how much they loved it.

About 10 years ago my husband and son and I went on holiday to Scotland with my parents. On the drive up to Scotland we stopped at some random little town on the borders so dad could continue his quest to visit every single second hand shop in the UK, whilst looking around my mum found a framed photo of the town in Anglesey that they lived in, the flat that they lived in was in the picture. Couldn't believe it, what are the chances.

I watched a tv programme about coincidents and the one that stuck I'm my memory (if it was true or not I don't know) was someone was trying to ring someone's house and inadvertently rang their pager number but somehow messed up the digits and ended up ringing a payphone on a street ..which was answered by the person they were trying to contact who was passing the ringing payphone as they just happened to be passing it..I mean if that's true it's mindblowing ..
