'We're identical twin sisters – strangers can't tell us apart so we use one method'

A pair of identical sisters listed things twins do to help people distinguish between them. Elizabeth and Rose Conway are biologically identical twin sisters from the UK. Identical siblings often get mistaken for their twin so these sisters have some ways to help people tell them apart.
Elizabeth, a journalist at BBC Sport, posted a video on TikTok titled ‘Secret things identical twins do that you’d never know!’ Some of the things include their outfits and wearing different hairstyles. Speaking in the video stood next to Rose, the sports journalist said: “So I’m Liz and this is my identical twin sister, Rose, and here are some things twins will do that you’ll never notice but they have to do just because they’re identical twins.” Rose took over: “First one: We mention each other’s names as early as possible.”.
Elizabeth explained if they meet people out and about she will mention her own name or Rose’s so strangers know which twin they are talking to. She gave the examples: “Rose isn’t here” or “Rose is away” or “Rose, come over here”. Rose added: “Because when you speak to somebody you know they don’t know who they’re talking to if we’re both due to be there.” Elizabeth expanded: “So they’re being really polite but you know they’re thinking in their head I don’t know which one so we try and help that.”.
The next thing the pair claimed twins do is “cover for each other all the time”. Rose said: “I pretended to be Liz on so many occasions and she has pretended to be me. I have talked about living in Manchester. I don’t live in Manchester being a journalist.
