I haven't got the best memory for faces as it is, I'm always forgetting names of friends of friends, But what I find worse is when I bump into someone I have worked with, As soon as they have removed there working clothes hard hat etc am totally lost, The amount of people I have bumped into in shops/pubs and they start talking to me and I have to play along not knowing who they are 
Sometimes its not until I see them back in work before I think ah its him  |

I do that all the time. In fact it happened to me today when I went back to the town I grew up in. Someone said hello and I couldn't work out who they are, it was someone I had known for 20 odd years but not seen for ages  |

I recognise people but if it is in a different environment I quite often don't have a clue who they are. It takes me a long time to learn names. Once I know their name it isn't a problem |

A small percentage of people cannot easily recognise faces. It's called Prosopagnosia. Some people have a milder form of this where you can recognise faces but you place the face in a specific context/in specific clothes etc.

I'm not very good at all at recognising faces and have inadvertently walked right past people I should have said hello to before. I'm brilliant at remembering names though. |

"I'm great with faces but crap at remembering names....one of my nightmares is having to introduce 'thingy' to 'thingy'... "
I'm the same. I may not remember their names but I will remember stupid trivial things about them, their jobs, that they have children etc. I usually to the introductions as "you two have a lot in common, you both have boys around the same age" and then leave it to them to give each other their names.  |
