Two women who met when one of them was a new neighbour and couldn't find the stopcock are still friends 26 years later - and now work together at Amazon. Karen Kelly, 52, and Tracey Owen, 53 met when Tracey, new to the pair’s block of flats, couldn’t find her stopcock, so came knocking on Karen’s door.
Karen said: “When the kids were young we’d take them for days at the beach, they’re some of my fondest memories. It was lovely, the kids were really close and to be honest we became a part of each others’ families – not much has changed.”
With similar aged children the pair started with playdates and over a quarter of century have seen and done it all together, from marriages to becoming grandparents. They even moved house at the same time and now live two doors down, instead of one floor up.
