When I worked for a charity I met Arthur Askey, Geoff & Adrian Love, Bob Monkhouse and various other showbiz people. I also met Nick Ross [who was lovely], Ian McGaskill [sp? the weatherman] and the Duke of Westminster and the Duchess of Kent. Met a few musicians on the fringes of punk rock, Glen Matlock, etc. Various rugby players - but NOT Matt Dawson. nell

I have met (been presented to) the Queen, Princess Margaret, the Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Alexandra at different times. The only one I could not like was Margaret. I was an official at a large conference in London and the Duke of Norfolk was in the Chair. I escaped to go to the loo and was happily spending a penny when the Duke walked in. I thought "should I spring to attention or bow or what?" when the Duke ended my consternation by proceeding to spend a penny himself and remarking in an affable tone "only real place where yer can express an opinion".

As a Silver Service waiter, in my youth,when I was better looking, I used to work at Wentworth Golf Club. Bruce Forsyth was a member, he lives on the estate ,somewhere,. Other visitors were Richard [Stinker] Murdoch,, Ronnie Barker, telling the filthiest gags south of the river at a Stag Night. Dear old Eric Sykes, deaf as a post all them years ago[1968 thru 1970. But my best memory from that time was meeting and serving Mr.Bond. Mr. Sean Connery.[as he was then] More recently I have had the pleasure of meeting "Grouty", from Porrige. He ,who is better known to us all as , Mr. Peter Vaughan. A one time resident of Crawley, here in "sunny Sussex". So I lied about the sun :-) I met Molly Weir, the diminuative Scottish actres, when she was alive , regularly ravelling too and from Brighton and London. She used to do the "Flash cleans without scratching" adverts on the telly back in the early 1970's . Another regular traveller was David Jason [Granville]

Met a few in my time Ross kemp, Steve Davis, Danny la Rue, David Bowie, Urikakakaka Johnson, Michael Barrymore to name but a few, best of all was Steve Marriot, Rod Stewart and Kenney Jones Drummer of The Who, My brother and Kenney were school mates and they had a band called 'The Steam', kenney, Steve and Rod used to come to our house and 'Jam' in the bedroom, Needless to say Bobby dropped out wanting to travel the world, which he did and settled in Australia and the rest as they say is History. Oh and the Queen Mum.

In my youth...strewth that makes me sound old.....I worked as a receptionist in a Night Club and met many 'Pop Stars' of the era....the '60's. Went to a party with 'The Animals' and another with Bruce Chanel who sang 'Hey Baby'....Long John Baldry....Rod Stewart.....Freddie Star....The Who....Gene Pitney....Bobby Vee... too many to mention...it was a great time. We could go anywhere at any time and feel safe - I often walked home alone and had no fear....we went out for a good time... now the object seems to be to get plastered, have a kebab or pizza and pick a fight

Long list - Nick Berry, Neil Fox, Pat Sharpe, Mick Brown, Phil Scofield, David Bowie (he trod on my foot outside Capital Radio station and didnt say sorry) loads of the SAW/Pete Waterman groups/artists in the early 90's plus probably loads more but for the life of me I cant think of them - will have to go through my autograph book and me with famous people photo album :-) Karen (sounding like a groupie! - me and my friends used to go up to London on a Sunday and hang about outside Radio 1 and Capital Radio when we were 16/17 years old)

I stood a few feet away from Jonny Depp in Harrods just before Christmas. I still haven't got over it. He is just as lovely in the flesh. Cliff Richards went to the same school as me. My R.E. teacher was the chap he shared a house with. He made frequent trips back to the school. Have seen Jordan & Peter Andre in Tesco. Maxine
