James Ward emails about an extraordinary PM centred coincidence, "Last Friday I was most excited to hear that the first letter featured in PM letters was from my old form teacher; the very next day I was walking in the Peak District and started talking to a man who turned out to be that very same form teacher - he had shaved his beard off so I hadn't recognised him to begin with; it had been 15 years since we last saw each other."

Have you experienced a coincidence lately? Let us know.

    I wandered into the kitchen one day last week or the week before, and, as happens with increasing frequency, I forgot what I had gone there for. 'What am I doing?', I asked myself. 'You are listening to the 6 O'clock News on the BBC,' said kindly Harriet Cass.

    So sorry this issue is cropping up again. On both Explorer and Firefox on my PC it looks fine. Can't see a problem with the html either.

    I will consult. Apologies.

    As I was listening yesterday to Sounds of the Sixties it occurred to me that I hadn't heard one of my favourites from the decade for a long long time - Sam the Sham and the Pharoes' Woolly Bully.
    As I was sending a request to sots - well ..you can guess the rest, but it was very creepy.
