It was our wedding anniversary and in the early 70s in the small country town we lived in entertainment was non-existent. So we decided to go to the drive-in at the town about 40 minutes away. We thought about inviting our neighbours to go with us. They were teaching colleagues and good friends but we decided that it wouldn't be so romantic if we weren't alone.
So off we went. Drove to the town, found a good pace at the drive in and got settled. Soon another car pulled up next to us - and there they were. Our neighbours!
Today we set off from home for a weekend away. We didn't start very early and as I was getting the mail from the letter box I saw the neighbours leaving and noted that his car was home so he must be having a day off. We took our time and finally stopped at a pleasant park for a pit stop and to eat our sandwiches. I pulled up, opened my door and the driver of the next vehicle waved and his wife came wandering up. Yep, you guessed it. The neighbours. They'd been ahead of us on the road but stopped at the same place to eat their sandwiches, just as we were about to.
What are the chances...
