This van was parked near the shops this morning; the company belongs Keith Apter, who I met many years ago when we were introduced by a mutual friend. We were both amazed to meet someone with our surname who wasn't a family member. We went to the pub, got drunk, and decided that our grandfathers may have been cousins. I haven't seen Keith for ages, but he has a few vans around town so I hope he's doing well.
Keith has a daughter called Sophie, who just happens to go to the Royal High School. Poppy has had to field various questions from her teachers about her relationship with Sophie. They're also astonished that they have two unrelated Apters in the school! The fact that Poppy does have a cousin called Sophie Apter has merely complicated the matter even further!
