Coincidences like this are bound to happen given there’s 70mn people in the uk. You would think the police would check properly before they raided someones house though!

I guess it's a slim chance but it happens especially the same name. I'm lucky my surname is unusual so not many with people with my name. I have a friend with a more common name and he went to pick up a new pair of glasses tried them on and couldn't see anything! But was told you will get use to them. He couldn't get use to them and ended up going back. It turned out there was someone else with the same name who needed a new glasses and my friend had been wearing his glasses!

Happened to me at Guy's Cancer Centre, never met him because our appointments were different times/days. Fortunately we didn't have the same oncologist 🙂

kate1310 Seriously, I asked because I was absolutely convinced I had an appointment. As I was a regular at the time, the receptionists reassured me that they knew there was another one on the books.
