Title: How many of you are there?
Post by: Clive on July 07, 2003, 21:00

have you ever wondered how many other people share your name?  If you are called John Smith there must be thousands, but it seems that there are 13 unlucky people who share my name.  ;D

"There are 13 People with the name Clive Down.
You are rarer than a wombats wing nut."

Seems I'm much more common!  ::)

There are 58 people with the name Simon [my surname].

More people probably die poking spoons into the back of their PC's every year than there are of you.

There are

5551

People with the name David Taylor.
My mate Drew once ate this many walnut Whips in one night.
He's insane now. Drives a Volvo.

This doesn't surprise me.  Two of my best mates in Chorley have the same name as me.

Around 1981, all three of us went to London to stay with a mate who had moved there.  Arriving at Euston Station around half past midnight, on the delayed 20:30 train from Preston (some things in Britain just never change) we climbed onto a taxi and asked the driver to take us to Crystal Palace.  The taxi driver lept out of the cab and returned with a Policeman.  The copper then informed us that the driver was concerned that as the fare was £16.00 (a lot of money in 1981) we might do a runner without paying.  An argument ensued, during which the copper asked us our names.  When we all replied "Dave Taylor", he then accused us of taking the p*ss.

The outcome?  We were taken to a local Police Station, from where we were eventually put into a Police van and given a free lift to our mate's house, with a full apology from a very embarrassed Sergeant.
