One of the things that causes no end of amusement to the nofear 'massive', is to point out those in the vicinity that bear a passing resemblance to us. Along the lines of "That's your father over there", or "there is your brother". With the addition of fiancee's to the group, we are now able to include members of the female sex in our game.
What is so suprising is that there are just so many people out there that look eerily similar, the result of a small initial gene pool perhaps?
Anyway, this morning I realised that not only did the conductor on the train this morning look uncannily like Joe Pasquale (the well known high pitched comic), I was unnerved to realise that he had several physical attributes that I recognised in myself. It was in fact a rich day for doppelgangers, for we also had on the train a Norfolk version of Larry Ellison, and someone I could have sworn was Ben Affleck (who embarrassed himself by leaping up 10 minutes before the the train arrived at the station, and then sheepishly made his way back to his seat after realising he looked rather stupid standing all on his own by the door).
It has been some time since a once regular passenger, the man whose weekly shopping appeared to consist solely of a loaf of bread and two bottles of scotch, has been seen on the train. Here's hoping he is still around somewhere, and which brings me back to the original point, he does look so very much like someone's father...
