Maybe there’s something in the town water.

A Welsh school teacher has five sets of twins among her 20 pupils.
All live within a mile of each other and were born in the same six months, reports the Daily Mirror.
Three pairs of twins are identical causing teacher Fran Thomas a real headache in her Flying Start nursery group at Pembroke Dock Community School in West Wales..
She said: “There must be something in the water. I’ve never heard of five sets of twins in a class.
“It was quite a shock when they first arrived for school. It was like we were seeing double.”
The twins are Mavis and Ollie Harwood, two; Finlay and Charlie Jones, three; Callum and Damian Bugby, two; Kai and Callum Blackhouse, three on Friday; and Rebekah and Teagan Wheatley, three.
The odds against finding so many twins in the same class are sky high.
For every 100 pregnancies only three result in multiple births for mums aged 25 to 29, five for those 35 to 39.
