Re: Famous people I have met.
Very small world, we lived in Granborough, a little village just outside of Aylesbury. Mr Freemantle (Lord Cotslowe) was a client of mine. Also Sir Lawrence Verney was a client (anyone from Bucks should know of him or his family - Florence Nightengale, Claydon House, Recorder of London, Sir Edward, etc).

Re: Famous people I have met.
I bumped into Tom Cruise and apologised.
Then Steve started pissing himself laughing.
We were in Madame Tussauds and 'Tom' was a bloody waxwork figure.......
He still takes the piss and it was about 10 years ago

I also love visiting Waddesdon Manor my parents live in Stone and have unobstructed views across the fields to the Chilterns- it's beautiful
but as they live in a converted barn next to farm you're pestered by flies when you sit in the garden!
. Yes I know Berkhampstead is expensive! I had a few friends who went to 'The boys School' many yrs ago now.Karen - very funny

Re: Famous people I have met.
In my younger days, when I was a cheerleader for a Glasgow team, I met Graham Souness, he was Manager of Glasgow Rangers and sat on Ali McCoist's knee in the middle of the Ibrox pitch for a photograph that appeared on the front cover of the Rangers magazine! They played in the same colours as our American Football team. I've also appeared on page three of the Daily Record with the rest of the cheerleaders at that time. I also met David Essex when he was in Uganda for Voluntary Service Overseas, teaching the local kids to play football. They ran rings round him and with no shoes on either!
Not much of a claim to fame but I've led a very sheltered life

Went to the same school as Peter (Longbenton High school). Saw Terry Pratchett in Christchurch. Saw Brian Johnson (AC/DC) in Newcastle City Tavern, and he had his cap on too drinking a bottle of "DOG"
