What a Coincidence

Hi Guys, what are the odds of purchasing some items at one shop and then two days later at another establishment and both receipts being the same value.

I went to Office Works on Tuesday and bought a couple of items, then went to Bunnings on Thursday and bought a couple of items there as well and both receipts for the two different days were $23.35.

Just saying.

Leon

Hi Leon


Statistically speaking, I suppose the chance of it happening to someone, somewhere, sometime is an absolute certainty.


In the this case, it was you who drew the short straw!


Enjoy your fame.

Leon this sounds suspicious.
Please post your banking details so we can verify both transactions.

To add to the coincidence, both companies are owned by the same parent. Hmmmm!

Geoff, have to admit that was an unusual amount this time, i agree it is easy to spend heaps more

Your such a funny fella Andrew, but you are right they don't take Gold just yet and it gets a bit heavy in the pocket.
So it has gone from Computers to Gold now LOL.

I trust gold more than I trust computers, Leon.
I'm still running Win 7.
You're a legend running Win 11, you'll have to give me lessons.
