Everybody knows him

Why ,when you say where you live ,does someone assume that you know so & so? When I told the woman in the next hospital bed to mine where I lived she said you must know Mark ****He lives down your road ,EVERYBODY KNOWS HIM,Sorry but everybody doesnt know him I dont & when I told my son he didnt either ,though he thinks now he might know who he is

Ha ha. In Egypt, if you tell them you come from England, they assume you know their uncle in Yorkshire.

Re: Everybody knows him

I remember my Irish granny coming to stay when I was a nipper and asking how often did we see the Queen

Re: Everybody knows him

Australians are the worst I think
Because when you reply "oh no...he must live about a hundred miles away from me..."
They say
"He's your neighbour then"!

Well yes...him and about 2 million others!

"I probably know them by sight..." seems to satisfy people in my experience.

Re: Everybody knows him

When I was in Surrey recently staying with my sister , her next door neighbour told me his friend had moved to my area , it turned out his mate has moved into the same road as me ( he's in the posh houses though )

When in Australia I was asked a few times if I'd seen the queen

Re: Everybody knows him

I am sure there was a time when, if you lived on a town or village,you would know everybody that lived there!
Sadly we all reproduced and towns got bigger, so most people now only know their immediate neighbours...... but some people don't realize that.
