Proof that we're all relatively common
With DNA analysis becoming the latest technique to be used in tracing family trees, Sarah Freeman took a swab and went on the trail of her own ancestral mother.
It is a scientific fact – I am undeniably common.
There were admittedly signs – I have tea when I should really be sitting down to dinner, I've frequently used a serviette instead of a napkin and my house doesn't have a lavatory, it has a toilet.
But in my defence there was also the university education, the ability to say please and thank you without being prompted, and the fact I have never worn a sovereign ring and don't like Pot Noodles.
