Several years ago I was on a plane back from Malta and I was sat next to a smart lady in her mid thirties,
We exchanged some small talk, and she told me she was from Accrington, but lived in Malta as she had married a Maltese man who owned a sports shop on the island.
She was travelling back to England to attend her father's 70th birthday party that was being held in a large marquee in their garden.
By co-incidence I actually knew her dad who was a wealthy local businessman.
We arrived back in Manchester, said goodbye and I forgot all about her,
Nine months later I was flying back to Malta and was sat next to a lady in her late sixties, so we got chatting.
She explained that she was flying out to visit her daughter, who married a Maltese man who owned a sports shop...............
There were nearly 250 seats on the planes, what were the odds on that?
