Do you think that a holiday cottage have faked a visitor entry or something?

Why are you trying to distinguish if it is the same hand writing?
I think this looks like the same person wrote both

StarDolphins · 08/06/2023 13:03

No

miniegg3 · 08/06/2023 13:03

I'd say no

No, the Y’s do not have a curl in the first photo

LIZS · 08/06/2023 12:59

No

DrFoxtrot · 08/06/2023 12:59

No I don't think they look similar at all.

BlueAndGreenStripes · 08/06/2023 12:58

I think it’s not the same handwriting.
Saying that though, my handwriting changes drastically if I’m writing things in a rush or needing to write something important, so people can definitely change their handwriting if they wanted to.

Not the same but it could be the same person writing both. My handwriting changes depending on how lazy I am feeling and so can look completely different

Exactly. I’m a teacher so I have got several different handwriting styles which I use daily - I’ve got my “I wrote this on the board before the lesson” writing (which is nice and neat, usually not joined up to make it super easy to read) and then I’ve got my “quickly writing on the board” writing - which is similar but more slanted and sloppy.
Then I have my “writing in kids notes” writing (eg to give feedback) which is usually far messier and joined up; but still legible.
Then I have my writing for in my planner which looks like something died on the page.
Then I have my “nice” joined writing which I use for birthday cards etc.

My own writing doesn’t look the same from one day to the next. These could easily be the same person.

NeverThatSerious · 08/06/2023 12:54

On the face of it, I’d say not.

TheSnowyOwl · 08/06/2023 12:54

It’s written differently but that doesn’t mean it’s not written by the same person.

Monikkas · 08/06/2023 12:52

They don’t look the same but if someone was trying to change their handwriting and be deceiving then possibly. Only because there are some letters which look the same between the two

FictionalCharacter · 08/06/2023 12:52

No. There are differences in several of the letters, the slope and spacing of the words, and the overall shape of the writing.

KrisAkabusi · 08/06/2023 12:50

No, they're completely different!

LordGribeau · 08/06/2023 12:49

No. Basic letter formation is different, it's particularly noticeable in the word "stay".

Testina · 08/06/2023 12:48

No. You’ve got a right slant and slant, and a straight line t vs one with the curve at the bottom, and quite a flourish of an f in one not the other. One’s pretty much cursive and the other is print.

SeeingSpots · 08/06/2023 12:48

No it doesn't look like the same person wrote both at all. There are way more differences between the writing than similarities.

KarmaStar · 08/06/2023 12:48

Based on the o and the e I would say yes it is.

Rauha · 08/06/2023 12:48

No, I don't think they are the same.

steppemum · 08/06/2023 12:47

I don't think so.
The larger portion is italic, and the shorter one not.
The capital S is different in both
y loop is different
small a is differently formed

you have the word Stay in both and almost every letter is different

Blondey2023 · 08/06/2023 12:46

What are we looking at OP? I would say they are different styles of writing but with similarities...

Choconutty · 08/06/2023 12:45

No - forward leaning vs. not, curved ys vs. not.

Mind you, the S and M are similar...

Hermanfromguesswho · 08/06/2023 12:44

No, I don’t think so. The slant is very different

LlamaFace19 · 08/06/2023 12:44

Not an expert but no, not the same IMO.
