I was at a place called Tambourine Mountain in Oz a couple of years ago. Not exactly on the tourist trail but well known to locals. I was having a coffee with the wife when a couple sat down at the next table. He had a slight Yorkshire accent and I asked where he was from. Turns out we were in the same class at primary school 50 years before, he had lived in Oz for 45 years.
Got talking and it turned out the woman’s sister worked in the same office in Edinburgh as MrsICBM.

My band played a wedding in rural Staffs where the groom reformed his University band - they used our gear and played their usual 5 song set from the early 90s. I got talking to their singer (who'd been using my amp) and he told me he'd come down from Sheffield for the wedding and also that he was Bjorn in an Abba tribute.
The very next weekend I went with my wife to one of her work colleague's 50th birthday party at her work's social club. I was vaguely aware she'd booked an Abba tribute but imagine my (and his) surprise when it was the same bloke.
