Jane was also from Huntingdon and I went out with her around the time that I went to university. I knew her family was from Dalston in London.
Well, a couple of years ago I moved to Dalston. Opposite my flat is a derelict bookmaker's shop which bears the same name as my friend Jane. I mentioned it to her and it turns out that, although her immediate family thought that it had long since disappeared, this was the bookmaker's shop which had been owned by her grandfather in the 60s. The place where a man who was robbing the shop shot her poor grandfather dead.
What a coincidence!
