Famous People in Sainsburys

[lisaloulou84]

Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy) and Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont) from Game of Thrones, both separetly but furniture from me in Oliver Bonas last month.

[edcam]

Rather indiscreet, talking about who your well-known customers are, isn't it? Or is it an Oliver Bonas policy? If I were in their shoes it would make me feel a tad uncomfortable.

Why - do you have particularly large feet ? :)

[lisaloulou84]

Not policy, just a Game of Thrones fan who was excited to serve them commenting on a tongue in cheek thread. I think if I were a famous ED resident, I'd be more uncomfortable about my local pub being outed as per many of the posts on this thread, I doubt any Game of Thrones megafans are going to camp outside the shop hoping they might pop in again.

[edcam]

It's still very indiscreet and inappropriate for someone who works in a shop to do this.

[Bic Basher]

It really isn't a major issue. People go to Sainsbury's/Oliver Bonas to shop, not to hunt for celebrities.

[Mick Mac]

It's what a celebrity comes to expect surely. Unless of course they were buying a sofa for their secret lover and have been famously outed. Sliding doors and it could all so easily have been so different.

[edcam]

They might expect to be recognised, of course but for an employee of a shop they visit to report this on a public forum is not acceptable.

so another customer could have 'reported' this and would've been ok? whats the difference - a shop is a public place.

Well that would have been creepy too but at least it wouldn't be unprofessional.

[Mick Mac]

In general actors like to perform. Its what attracts them to acting in the first place surely. They don't tend to be shrinking violets who fear being recognised.

[alice]

creepy unprofessional are defined differently by me

I know actors better than you might imagine and this is true to a degree. But they're not public property, nobody is.

[Mick Mac]

Either that or everyone is.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I never knew Oliver Bonas sold furniture.

[rabbitears]

Robert Lindsay at the East Dulwich Picturehouse

[Tomemery13]

Richard Grieve (google him) just now in Sainsbury's!

[ianr]

Fifteen points to each of you.

[Seabag]

Stephen Mangan in Rocca in DV

In a big big family group, everyone suitabley ignored him whilst mouthing 'look it's the guy from Green Wing/Postman Pat/Adrian Mole/Episodes' behind their menus

My other half had to be 'calmed' lightly, but she recovered well.

And I'm greatful she didn't do the classic "Look behind you, it's the guy from The Jam"

Like she did when we were in Maida Vale

"Where, what Paul Weller?"

As I turned round and bumped into Paul fekkin Weller getting out of his Mini

[JimmyMc1311]

Sandi Toksvig was also in the Brockley Jack pub last week. She didn't smile at me though...

[rabbitears]

Alexandra Stan (Euro pop star) at Belair House.

Do NOT make any eye contact/smile/knowingly engage with 'The Toksvig'

She's very seriously 'I'm not public property' famous

[red devil]

Do owners look like their dogs?

This celeb was spotted in Dulwich Park yesterday walking their CockerPoo (looking) puppy, can you guess who it is?

Cheeky face, wet nose and curly hair...didn't get close enough for the dog breath test

Jimmy Nesbitt shouldn't be considered a sighting unless he is armed with an axe and b*ll*ck naked chasing someone along Lordship Lane.

[goosey-goosey]

The lead singer of The Foals (whoever they are) has just moved to Peckham. This public service announcement is brought to you by yesterday's Guardian.
