Something that's true no one would believe

[Lululime2024]

so Something happened this morning that's so funny to me but I can't really say it to anyone because they'll think I'm nuts so I'll start.

i genuinely turned a corner in Lidl this morning and Tracy beaker was there (dani harmer) I'd heard rumours she had moved to my town but I wasn't sure. But no, sure enough there she was.

I won't say where just incase there's some odd balls super fans but there you go. Have you ever bumped into a celeb in an odd place or something happened that no one would believe?

lol I bet her heart sank

Haha. OPs unbelievable story is 'person met a person in a shop'. 'Meeting the QM in a drainage ditch' meets the brief!

You've got to be kidding?! You can't mention the celebs you saw because it will get recognised??? 😂

Obviously believable but completely bizarre, we bumped into our neighbours from back home on a beach in Thailand. Sat reading on a beach and thought "I recognise that voice" 😂This was long before social media so there was no way of them knowing we were there and vice versa. We'd been away travelling for months and they were just on a 2 week holiday and just happened to be on the same island 😂

I saw Jim Bowen (from Bullseye) at a rave in the early nineties.

Apparently he used to regularly go to raves, the proper in a field in the middle of nowhere type!

Yes because it's such a weird celebrity in such a weird place, I have told everyone and it has become a joke amongst us in several workplaces, groups of friends etc - lots of who I know are on here...

I didn't believe you so I googled it. Yep you're right! That IS interesting!

That's completely believable. Giraffes have massive necks!

All the 'I saw random actor' stories are really boring and not at all unbelievable!

I saw Hale and Pace n the Indian restaurant. I know, it’s unbelievable

Did you pay with Luncheon Vouchers?

That there is only one country separating Norway and North Korea

The distance from Hammerfest to Oslo is greater than that from Oslo to Rome.

I flew home from Australia on the same plane as the Queen and Prince Phillip, on April fools day. Every one thinks the royals only use private jets. It was a standard scheduled flight from Perth to Heathrow. I have a great photo of her walking through Singapore airport, she paused very briefly and flashed a lovely smile when she saw me with my camera.

She did have a lovely smile tbf. Years of practicing I guess!

I saw a weird celebrity in a weird place, but I can’t name either the celebrity or the place.
How perfectly fascinating.

Hey, I don't know why you're specifically targeting me - or being quite so nasty
I'm just a person on a random internet forum having a chat.
It's not that deep.

@Sharontheodopolodous I am dumbfounded!! Are you curious about whats happening in their lives now? I'm trying to decide if I'd want to know. Are there any theories out there as to how is it all possible?

Please tell me she is lovely.

Surely to god, everyone that live in the U.K knows that our land mass doesn't sit at the angle it does on the TV weather map?

It's more the image you have in your head about the layout of the country and where certain areas are. I always had it in my head that Edinburgh was directly above Northumberland in a straight line... When I looked at the map of the UK it's not at all. Just call me thick if "everyone else that lives in the UK knows this" 🙄

You're not thick. Neither am I. That poster just think she's superior.

Lots of people think the UK is straighter than it is because of weather maps. I mean the ones on the weather reports on TV.

It's a fabulous story, @Sharontheodopolodous. Any way of finding out if your 'mirror' in the other family also went NC?!

I've had a few well known (hate the word 'celebrity' as they're known for their jobs) clients over the years

I never know who they are for a few sessions- I'm surprised how many use versions of their real names in emails that you just wouldn't recognise

I've heard that the 'matching' son to my brother has a girlfriend who not only share the same name (not an unusual name,its very common for their generation,not so much now),they share a birthday (same year,i think a few hours apart) and they met on the same day/year

Other than that,I don't have a clue!

I'd love to know any more-it blew my parents (and our) brains

I mean what are the odds of 'matching' so closely with (then) complete strangers?
