Some say coincidences are happening around us all the time, it’s just whether or not we are receptive to spotting them. During a couple of days the other week, three extraordinary coincidences happened to Gill and me.

I was driving up in London, guided by my SatNav, and as I was going past Prince’s Gate in Knightsbridge, Gill walked out of one of her embassies after a particularly long wait and was gob-smacked to see the van drive past. What are the chances of that happening?

The coincidences continued. I had been thinking about one of our clients who had not used us recently and within the next half an hour they had phoned to say they needed a courier. As I recounted this coincidence to Gill, she said she had also been thinking about another client who had been quiet of late. You know what I am going to say now – the client had phoned before the day was out!

How spooky is that, perhaps Gill and I should consider a career thinking up winning lottery numbers, if only! So in conclusion, be afraid, very afraid. If you haven’t needed a courier lately and we should think of you, you will be compelled to pick up your phone and ring Frank Brown Delivers…
