Jake and Josh are identical twins from Leeds. Both boys have red hair and green eyes, and every morning their mum checks their bags to know who is who: each twin carries a different backpack. Jake’s is blue and Josh’s is black. Neither of them likes being confused with the other. At school, they are in different classes, and each class has its own timetable. On Saturdays, they either play football in the park or go to the swimming pool. Neither boy enjoys shopping, but both love music: Jake plays the piano and Josh plays the drums.
