I used to work in a popular gallery in the West End. I once directed Alan Rickman to the gallery's bookshop. On another occasion, I was in the foyer when a lady who collected prints was talking to the receptionist. She turned out to be Gene Hackman's wife. He was lurking in the background trying to remain inconspicuous.
To be honest, I am, or was, quite intimidated by celebrity. So much so that I passed up a chance to chat to Pete Townsend at an event organised by the same gallery. Mind you, I did say hello to Dennis Healey once as we passed in the doorway to the gallery and he gave me a cheery hello in response.

Hand on heart Giggi no googling.

AJM, I used to unsuccessfully stalk Pete Townsend, their Ramport studio was in the road I lived in in Battersea, and I would always buzz the intercom when I was passing in the small hours.

I would get various replies when enquiring as to whether PT was on the premises ranging from 'f*ck off' to one amiable cove inviting me in to share a share a beer on a few occasions.

According to him Pete was a 'right moody sod', so perhaps better all round this excitable fanboy didn't get to meet him.

1. A friend of mine used to be Jenny Agutter's housekeeper.


2. Have sat either next to (or very close to) Sandy Gall on a plane 3 times.


3. Have sat right behind Felicity Kendal at the theatre.


4. Bumped into Heather Mills in John Lewis.


5. Bumped into Susan Hampshire at a theatre bar.


6. Sat next to Aswad at Warsaw Airport, and then sat behind them on plane.

Jenny Agutter lives down the road from my kid's school in Camberwell so I sometimes see her after I've dropped the kids off. A few doors away lives Justin Webb of Radio 4's The Today Programme. Is this the closest thing our 'hood has to Stella Street?

Incidentally, I shared a bus with John Sessions going up Dog Kennel Hill a couple of years ago.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
