And every third little girl born that year got named "Jennifer."

@Bubbletrouble43 so was my DH! The difference being his mum was in labour with him, in Birmingham, and his dad had gone for a drink after work in the pub under the rotunda.

She spent the evening pacing the floor in hospital watching the ambulances come in, wondering whether her husband was in one of them (turns out he wasn’t, he was fine, he arrived home hours later to DH’s older sister telling him off & sending him straight up to hospital!)
