Hi Wes

I LOVE hearing of rare incidents like that!


Well mine was as follows.....

In the early 1980s I was working as a salesman in a marine instrumentation manufacturer in
South UK and much of our product went to Aberdeen in Scotland about 500 miles North of us,
in the oil exploration days in the North Sea. I spoke to about 50 people up there
regularly (sales) and "knew them" quite well / recognised their voices......

One day I was dialling "X" and got a crossed line - I listened for a few seconds and then
couldn't believe my ears... - it was "Y" talking to "Z", both of whom I knew, and both of
whom were discussing buying something from me (my company) each was in a different
company up there about 5 miles apart.... I broke in and they could hear me too and for a
short while we were all aghast at how tiny those odds must have been.

I rarely get a cross line let alone with anyone I know, let alone with two people I know,
and let alone talking about me !!! It will never happen again..... There's something
slightly spooky about that..
