A man named Neil Richardson had a strange experience when he relocated to a new town outside of London. Richardson, who is 69, soon found that many people thought that they recognized him. They waved at him and called out to him in the street. However, they called him “John” rather than “Neil.”
Richardson was perplexed until he met a man on a bus named John Jemison. The two men look remarkably alike. They are roughly the same age and have similar hair styles and beards.
When they began talking, they found that they had a lot in common besides a similar appearance. Among other things, both attended the same college in the 1960s, the College of St. Mark and St. John in Chelsea. Additionally, both were religious teachers and they currently both sing in a choir. They found out that they even bank at the same place.
At the same time, Richardson and Jemison don’t actually think that they look that much alike. Jemison claims that he’s “a lot better looking” than his new friend. The many commonalities between the two men is apparently a coincidence. As far as they know, they are not related. Because of the similarities they share, however, they have become friends.
