D'YA KEN* KEN - I'M A BARBIE GIRL! My hubby has a doppelganger This guy ‘Ken’ I’d love to meet as hubby’s twice been greeted with ‘Hi Ken’ when we are walking down the High Street I’m dashing out to buy a blonde wig So if he’s mistaken again, I can then be Barbie to his Ken *’D’ya Ken’ is a Scottish phrase which means ‘do you know’ We were walking in our capital city Douglas and a guy walked past and said ‘hello Ken’ we thought it was just a case of mistaken identity until we were at the hospital yesterday and it happened again. I would love to meet this ‘Ken’ to see the likeness to my hubby! 8/2/18

Thanks Mo, I would love to know who 'Ken' is - we were at the hospital for my hand physio yesterday and a guy said to my hubby 'hello Ken' I wish he'd asked for his surname so I could try and look him up:-) hugs Jan xx
