A British priest Neil Richardson who moved to Braintree, Essex 18 months ago has been wondering why people in the town keeping greeting him, ‘hello John’.
He was mistaken by many as the popular former head teacher in the town called John Jemison.
'The manager was quite sure I was John. A couple of weeks ago, I asked if I could have a word with him after he greeted me with the words, "Hello John". He wouldn't believe that I wasn't John. I had to show him my driving licence.
'It made me very interested to meet this man, who I thought must be rather good-looking!', Neil Richarson described an incident in a cafe.
69-year Richardson only recently met 74-year old Jemison to resolve his wonder about the striking resemblance.
But there is more beyond the physical resemblance between the two.
Both are grandfathers with four grandchildren and they both went to the same college.
The two also sang in the choir, love writing poetry and they both became RE teachers.
