Remember the 'Charley Says' information videos back in the day? They were usually don't go with strangers or play with matches, that sort of thing. Well I just found out that Charley the cat was voiced by the late great KENNY EVERETT. He would "miaow" the message which was then translated by the little boy.
Who knew! 😲
A blast from the past Charley.

I just found this, I liked it.

That the middle part of the washing machine drawer is for fabric conditioner. I always put it on the right side 😅

There aren’t an infinite mixture of gene types, so there’s at least seven people around the world who look just like you.
I was told this at a party on Saturday, apparently the other woman even speaks the same as me, same mannerisms too! Imagine meeting your double? Freaky!!

I was on holiday in Bruges a few years ago and walked into a Waffle House, I was surprised when the owner ran over to me, speaking away in her mother tongue and embraced me. When I didn’t react she pulled away and looked at me oddly. I laughed and then she clicked that I wasn’t the person she thought I was. I am from England and this woman thought I was her German long time friend who had come to surprise her (my hair, the style of my clothes my face was all her double!) she only really believed I wasn’t her friend when I spoke as her friend did not speak much English at all, let alone with an English accent. The woman was lovely tho, told us to order anything we wanted from the menu and it would be on her. She kept looking over the whole time ad shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe I wasn’t her friend. Weird huh!

I *think* I did once but I wasn’t close enough to really inspect!
Years ago I went to a gym and was chatting to the owner. She asked “have you changed job?” I said “no, I still work at the bank.” She said “but I saw you in the building society last week. You were round the back so we couldn’t speak.” I told her she was mistaken.
Anyway, I had an account at that building society and some time later (can’t recall how long) I was paying in a cheque at the building society and I saw this woman out the back. Same hair style, glasses, similar way of dressing, same build, height, etc. I wasn’t close enough to see how similar facially we were but I could see why she’d think it was me from that distance. I did too! 😳

Slightly off topic, but if you’ve not seen Three Identical Strangers, definitely watch it. It may account for some of those doppelgängers.

I was once asked by a door to door salesman if I was somebody's sister because apparently looked exactly like her. He'd told me her name so I searched for her on Facebook because I was curious. I looked absolutely nothing like her. Not even a passing resemblance 😆. I think I'd quite like to meet my double though.

I was once followed around a night club by a guy who was convinced he had been on a date with me the weekend before (I was at home with my boyfriend). At first I thought it was some weird chat up technique, but he seemed sober and utterly certain.

He was cute tbf, go single doppelganger me, living your best life!
