I have a famous footballer who is my mums cousins son-i'd rather not name him but he played for Notts forest and England

Met John Glenn the astronaut who was visiting Rotterdam with his wife. They were guests of honour. We had quite a conversation with him, at least my children did. We were front page news. Nice photo keepsake!

I met Dusty Springfield (showing my age here!) in a hospital where I used to work in the 1970's. Also met Cheryl Baker, my friend went to school with her, what a nice friendly person. More recently my friend and I met at a concert, "Chip" Hawkes from the Tremeloes and Dave Dee from DD, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. Dave Dee is now a judge, but he is still really good looking, even if he has grandchildren !! lol Sue

Hi Met Vaseline, Sicknote and Bayleaf from Londons Burning-they were having a breakfrom Filming. Also met Leslie Crowther and Dick Emery, and Hunter from the Gladiators. A place I used to work in quite a few years ago - ad PRince Charles, Princess Diana and Princess Anne in on seperate occassions. Liz

Okay I'm going to admit it. I've met Take That, and a fewer other boy bands actually (runs away and hides with the shame)

My hubby and I met Alec Guiness in a Hotel over the road from where we used to live. Also met Charlie Watts of Rolling Stones, and sat about 10 yards from Linda & Paul McCartney in a Pub in Wallasey but didn't have the nerve to approach them! Actor Michael Jayston, he's a regular in local pub. Lynda

Maz Sorry to disappiont you but he really was! We went to see him in concert which was absolutely fabulous. The friend I was with was a real big fan of his and insisted we went back to the hotel he was staying in. To my amazement we were allowed in and made a beeline for him. After about 5mins I decided he wasn't worth the bother so I spent the rest of the night talking to the Real Thing who were supporting him. What a lovely bunch of blokes they were. To be honest I think he was on something. He certainly wasn't on the same planet as the rest of us! lol Jeanette

I have served Ray Reardon, the snooker player, when I worked behind the bar of a local golf club. He used to visit friends who were members of the club and he used to have a round or two of golf. A very courteous and charming man to everyone. I have an old £1 note signed by him. Viv.

Maz Yes that's him, as you have probably gathered I know nothing about football. When he came in and asked me who he had in his Taxi I said who. when he told me I said yer and so what big deal. Debbie I know David Beckham, Mick Channon and Kevin Keegan and yes I do know that the last two dont play anymore.

Debbie, I don't think it was Alex Ferguson, was it Ron Atkinson - he is orange and wears a lot of gold, he is a pundit on ITV nowadays I think.... and Jeanette - how dare you say that about Dave the Rave Essex !!!! Maz. XX

when I lived in Harrow, about 12 of us nurses went out for a meal and the waitress came to tell us cliff Richard was in the other half of the resturant , well you never saw so many people go in and out of the " Ladies " just to have a look at him ,and I can say he looks the same off stage or telly as he does on. also saw June Brown (Dot Cotton ) coming out of a shop on her way to Elstree, when I said it to the bloke in the shop he said he dident know who she was and would look at the telly , next day he told me , "she comes in every day ". Margaret.

I'll take your word for it lol Saying that, I couldn't stand cannon and ball either, but saw them once when we were in Yarmouth (dull, dull holiday lol) and they were very good.

Paul and Debbie, The Krankies have been doing panto. in Glasgow every Christmas for years now and believe it or not they are terrific. M.I.L. buys tickets every year for the whole family and it is a great night! honest :-) Tricia
