What are the chances?

A conversation I had today with a man trying to order a necklace.........

Tom - I cannot pay by paypal as it is my wife's account and I want it to be a surprise.
Me - No problem. If there is no rush you could send a cheque?
Tom - I don't have a cheque book.
Me - Actually, I just noticed your phone number is local. Are you in Newton Abbot?
Tom - Yes.
Me - Well I am only in Ashburton!
Tom - Really (surprised). Great, so I could come and collect it and pay you then?
Me - Perfect!
Tom - My wife has a friend who has one of your necklaces.
Me - I wonder if I might know her.
Tom - Maybe, her name is Charlotte Smith.
Me - And, who are you?
Tom - Tom Smith
Me - Did you go to school locally?
Tom - Yes
Me - I think I went to school with you.
Tom - Who are you?
Me - Amy Elson.
Tom - OMG!
Me - I was going to say, didn't I snog you when we were at school?
Both - Lots of (slightly embarrassed) laughter.

He is coming to collect it later this week. Will start working on the outfit now, must look my best!

Small world huh?
Names have been changed. Wouldn't want to upset the misses!
