Mrs W here …
Not long back from Lunchtime Prowl, I thought it might clear the exceptional horniness from me head… trouble is I found meself looking more at women’s breasts and men’s lunchpacks than usual … blimey came back even more horny, so after sitting at me desk for a few minutes, felt compelled to go to the loo again… still hasn’t cleared it … must be the humid warmth… see how we go xxx

That should be a reasonable excuse to be able to go home!! I had those cases were it’s just so hard to focus , to that I really don’t get any work done .

Agree, though sadly I’ve never been to London.
I have been to Chicago too many times to count and it’s huge too.
Multiple times I’ve seen people I knew there and what makes this more interesting is that neither of us lived in Chicago or even in the state of Illinois.
Another person and I were walking on a sidewalk downtown and we came across a man who went to high school with us.
Another time I was in one of the many post offices in Chicago and while in there I saw a lady I used to work with like 9 years before in a state 12 hours away. She didn’t live in Chicago, she was just up visiting. I didn’t live in Chicago either, though I was working there at that time.
I’d fly for business so I’d go in and out of O’Hare airport enough and one time while I was waiting for my flight, I saw a man from years before when he and I lived in a different state about 9 hours away from there. He didn’t live in Chicago, he was waiting for a connecting flight.
New York City is even larger than Chicago of course. I’ve never lived or worked out there yet on one of my trips there, while in Manhattan on a sidewalk, I ran across a lady I knew from when I lived in the Ozarks more than a decade before seeing her that day on the sidewalk.
When married to my 1st wife, all 5 of us (3 kids, wife and I) went to Disney World down in Orlando, FL. We were 10 hours from home. While we were all walking around the park, we came across neighbors we knew who lived in our same small subdivision (only one way in and out and just like 50 homes in there).
We had no idea they were going to Disney World and they didn’t know we were going there either.
Long ago, my 1st wife and I took off on a weekend trip to go to Mammoth Cave, Kentucky to see the huge cave system there. We were like 3.5 hours from where we lived. While we were there, we came across a person who worked with me where I worked at the time. I had no idea they were going to Mammoth Cave and they had no idea I was going there that weekend either.
Long ago my 1st wife and I went to an amusement park about an hour away from where we lived, it was in a large city and while we were there, we came across a couple we knew from the city we all lived in an hour away from the park.
A few years after college had ended for us, my 1st wife and I left our state to go visit her sister and her family. Her sister lived in a big city, it was the state capital and it was not the city where we went to college in either.
While my 1st wife and I were visiting her sister, my wife and I went to a huge shopping mall. While inside shopping with my wife, I ran across a lady I used to know back in college.
As part of my current job as a manufacturer’s parts rep, I will have to set up and man a booth in trade shows in convention centers from time to time. I’ve been in some huge places, like McCormick’s Place convention center in Chicago and it’s uncanny how many folks I run across while there that I knew from years before in business, or from different states.
Forget huge places like London, this happens to me even in small areas.
After divorcing my 1st wife, we lived 90 miles apart and we’d swap the children in the middle of nowhere, halfway in between. We’d meet in a parking lot of a McDonald’s to swap our children.
While swapping the children one weekend, as my ex-wife and I stood outside by our cars, a lady I knew walked out of that McDonald’s. It was in the middle of nowhere too, just an exit off an open stretch of highway.
Another time, I went to the city where my ex-wife and kids lived so I was 90 miles from the city I lived in. This was for a kids function of ours. My ex was there with her 2nd husband so we were all out at a nice restaurant. It was for a junior achievement event for our oldest child. While eating in the restaurant, I looked over and saw a lady I knew from the city I lived in 90 miles away. She just happened to be in that restaurant 90 miles from where she lived when I happened to be in that same restaurant 90 miles from where I lived too.
After my divorce, I took my 3 children 3 hours away on a weekend I had them to go visit Atlanta, GA to have fun on the weekend with them going to several places in Atlanta.
While we were in the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta, I saw a lady I knew from 3 hours away from there, but not the same 3 hours away where I lived, but a different direction.
So she and I were both 3 hours away from where we lived but we didn’t live in the same city or area, we were just both down in Atlanta on that same weekend and we both happened to be in the World of Coca-Cola at the same time.
What does this mean? It means if I lived in or around London, I’d be running into y’all left and right, that’s what this means! And not just in London either. If we were say 3 hours outside of London at some place, I’d have good odds of running into you there too!

I agree @HermanHuge, when we travel to and from Spain to the UK, it’s surprising how many people you end up chatting too as you wait for flights. Once they hear a local accent and ask where are you from…it uncanny how close some people can actually live to you!
I’m sure I would home in on Mrs @Wurger’s or @paulsballs voices straight away!! Or Pen’s for that matter!

That got me thinking about how far apart Miss Heather and I were born from each other so I had to look it up.
She and I were born over 800 miles apart from each other.
My 1st wife and I were born in the same hospital, she is 46 days older than me.
Tis not important of course, but seeing your comment about how far apart your partner and you were born from each other put it into my mind was all.

Where I grew up in Worsley during the black and white era, people seemed to call it a spinney

Interesting. I’ve never heard that one before 
It is unusual yes.
Here a few miles away in Manchester, most just call it the passage.
I worked in Halifax for more years than I cared to remember (almost moved there) and they all called it a ginnel.

I had to google that and of course there is a Halifax in England.
See, my 1st though was Halifax in Nova Scotia in Canada, which is where my brother has lived and worked for like the last 7 years or so.

I bet your glad you didn’t move there. I know it very well

Good Heavens… don’t let them hear it said like that lol, that nuance would be deemed highly offensive.
You actually mean there is a place in Canada named after Halifax in Yorkshire 
ps, I worked there from 1992 to 2009 when the company was bought out and operations moved elsewhere.
