  • "Oh have you guys ever swapped places before?"

  • "Who do you think's prettier?"

  • "Are you the smart twin or are you the sporty twin?"

  • Uh? Like, why is that a question?

  • Life is just repetitive as a twin.

  • It is!

  • "Which one are you?"

  • I've had friends, like talking to me, and then being like, "Oh I thought you were Tope."

  • Like even our dad, he still gets us mixed up.

  • It's like, come on.

  • And then they start looking for identifiers.

  • They're like, "Hmm okay. Which one are you? Wait a minute, are you the one with the weird thing on his face?"

  • You're the bigger one and you're the like, more thinner one.

  • And some people have got us to stand back-to-back.

  • "Okay, you two stand right next to each other."

  • "Glasses off, stand next to each other."

  • "Shoulders apart."

  • They'll literally be positioning you.

  • You two can share.

  • Oh my God.

  • Like if our parents are buying us something we know it's for both of us.

  • Like a coat, if they buy us a coat.

  • It's not my coat, it's our coat.

  • Like our friends are like, "You can just share this present."

  • We used to have to kind of sit back-to-back to open our presents so the other one couldn't see one of them was keener than the other to get the present out.

  • People that get their own cakes don't appreciate it. Like we have to share the cake and share the candles.

  • Like if someone got us a DVD and that like sticker would be scratched out "2 for £10"!

  • "Are you twins?"

  • Yeah we get that like everylike every other day.

  • They kind of come up to you in the street and they kind of give you this little eye, kind of like… "Oh yeah?"

  • The whole double-takeThey'll be like, "Are you guys twins?"

  • And you're just like, "I know what's coming. I know what's coming."

  • Or they'll stop our mum and be like, "You're so lucky."

  • Yes! Yes!

  • Yeah that was one of the first questions they ask: "Where's your twin?"

  • They always ask me as if I'm supposed to know where you are every minute of every day.

  • I don't know, maybe just some niceties first and then lead into, "Where's your brother? What's he up to now?"

  • "Oh where's Tights? Where's Kay?"

  • It's just like, I can be alone.

  • I'm like, "I don't know! You call her!"

  • "Do you do everything at the same time?"

  • -No. -No.

  • Biologically we're quite similar.

  • Our hairlines receded at the same time, Yeah.

  • People get really invasive actually, yeah.

  • "When did you start your period? Who had sex first?"

  • The period question: "Who started their period first?"

  • Why do you need to know that?

  • "Do both of you know when each other have sex?"

  • Or, "Do you feel each other when that happens?"

  • Yeah, it's so odd!

  • "Would you ever have a threesome?"

  • You know, that question we get asked so many times! -so many times!

  • I hate it!

  • Do you think that because we're twins like all social convention goes out the window?

  • Yeah that's so sick.

  • And incest is suddenly acceptable, it's not!

  • That's my sister you're talking about!

  • Yeah exactly you wouldn't have a threesome with your aunt!

  • We shared a womb, we're not going to share a partner as well.

  • "Can you feel each other's pain?"

  • First thing that everybody does and they're just like, "Can you feel each other's pain?"

  • And they'll hit you.

  • And then they get us to likethey'll be like, "Okay what's she thinking her now? What's she thinking now?"

  • Right now, maybe, yeah I don't know.

  • Call your brother! Is he hurt?

  • If someone's like, "Can you feel each other's pain?" We're like, "Yeah."

  • And we just pretend.

  • It doesn't exist.

  • Yeah, yeah as far as we know, maybe there are some twins who are more connected.

  • "Which one is the evil twin?"

  • I hate this question so much.

  • People wanted to put us in a group: the smarter twin, the naughty twin, the good twin, the bad twin.

  • "Which one's the smarter twin? Oh you're the smarter twin."

  • Or, "Which one does your mum prefer?"

  • Or, "Which one does your dad prefer?"

  • Like, teachers will always be like, "Are you the good one or the bad one?"

  • And they'll be like, "You look like the evil twin, I can see it."

  • It's just like, you can't see anything.

  • "I don't think I'd like to have a twin."

  • Well I don't think I'd like to meet you.

  • Being a twin, you've always got someone there with you.

  • You know when you've first moved to your school and it's that awkward like, you're standing around because you don't know anybody.

  • Just, never, never had that.

  • It's like, you've always hadso whenever you go on holiday, you're guaranteed to have a friend there.

  • I don't get how people do that.

  • Like all these humans walking around by themselves. -Walking around by themselves.

  • With my friends they might not be available but I know she's always going to be.

  • I feel like everybody should have had, like got a twin.
