who is the most famous person you have met ?
Big Chris:I've had a few near misses. One of which I was apparently standing in the queue at the till behind Phill Jupitus in HMV, Lakeside about 10 years ago, but didn't clock him (the Wife did though).
Oh, good point, evidentally I was standing next to Kirsty Allsop in Gap Baby in Exeter a couple of months ago, I didn't notice her as I was too busy covering my PIN! The missus noticed though and insisted we stand outside the shop for about 5 minutes waiting for her to come out. She didn't, so I left her to it.
Beverley whatserface from Corrie came into Superfi Birmingham asking about portable DVD players with screens. And Robin Campbell from UB40.
Why was Beverley whoever from Coronation Street asking about Robin Campbell from UB40 in Superfi Birmingham? Had she lost him while shopping?
Princess Anne
I actually had a disagreement with her, thought I was going to be taken to the tower.......those guys in dark glasses and suits were a bit scary...![]()
Prince Edward
Esther Rantzen (in a restaurant - why all these short people?)
Bjorn Borg & Vitas Gerulaitis (they used to practice where I lived during Wimbledon - used to give my mum boxes of chocolates...)
Oh yes, John McInroe (at his 18yo best - he really could be completely obnoxious - this was when he was qualifying for Wimbledon)

...Or to put it another way, not at all.
Tom Hanks... while he was in London (Leicester sq) promoting Apollo13. I nearly got run over by the car he was being driven in. I got a decent photo though! ![]()
About ten years ago, volunteered to attend a trade exhibition just outside of Guildford - it was one of these outdoor affairs. I helped run a stool, and about mid afternoon, this bloke walked up with a sassy looking lady on his arm. He was dripping with jewellery; a moment or two after he walked away my colleague said: I recognise him, though not sure where..."
A few minutes later, my colleague cam up to me again, smiling: " That guy," he exclaimed rather proudly. "what about him?" I said nonchalantly. Anyway, "that guy" was Ben Dover. As I'd lived a rather sheltered existence, I'd never heard of him, and didn't really care either.
Not really a great 'claim to fame' but it's the best I can offer....![]()
Simon Pegg and Ewan McGregor - thoroughly nice chaps... Fernando Alonso...
plastic penguin:I helped run a stool
Bar- or milking- ?
