Weird stuff

<HTML>OK. You're not going to believe this, but it happened. I've reported it to SpecOps but heard nothing from them. Maybe it's too strange even for them.
There I was, just minding my own business one Thursday morning (appropriate, methinks!), when there was a knock on the door and a postman appeared with a parcel. I thought this was mildly odd, but this was nothing to how I felt when I opened the parcel. Inside was a Liverpool FC football. Yes, the genuine article, all the way from Anfield. Well, I enjoy a good match as much as anyone, but for one thing I'm a QPR fan, and for another thing, it turned out to have been sent by a complete stranger. It was a Mr A Britten of Chiswick. If anyone in this forum knows him, it'll make the series of weird coincidences complete.
So I wrote to Mr A Britten of Chiswick, thanking him very much for his generosity, intentional or otherwise. I got a phone call from his father, who was another Mr A Britten of Chiswick, and who was just as entirely baffled as I was. He'd got my letter by mistake; it was an understandable error, because his son doesn't actually live at that address any more, though he visits regularly. He said he'd pass my letter on to his son and leave him to deal with it. I've heard nothing since.
Tell me, good people. Was I written by Mr Fforde? I am beginning to suspect I might have been...
All the best
