Last time I was visiting Smarties, we went to Bob Carolgees' candle shop near Frodsham and he handled my switch card as I bought some smellies for the house:)

I didn't have the guts to call him Bob to his face though - unlike Smarties did:D

Oh, and none of his products were covered in spit either!

Bob Carolgees', spit, candles can't can't see the connections. Would never quite had him as a smelly candle sort of person.

Brian Ferry is a regular in my OH's pub, I once asked him to sing happy birthday for a friend in the restaurant, he refused.


Mike Rutherford is one of my old clients, and one I kept when I cut down my client list.

Well as it stands Matt is defo leading the pack - despite the images I now have of Crispygirl!! It would seem he is not famous in his own right, though rarely have I come across such a name dropper, which pretty much conforms with my opinons of rugby playing public school types - as I type he will be polishing his organ, sorry, Morgan whilst chatting to his neighbour of the time he and Jodi hooked up with Bryan and Mike at the Polo match at Windsor.

Well done Matt.

Any first hand celebs out there? I was once the child star of a TV commercial for a supermarket, the "star" was the bloke off rainbow, and have been on page 3 of the Sun.

Sorry Mike a good effort, now, Johnathan Ross might have swung it!

I went to junior school with Gregory Peck, in fact we went to the pictures together, the film was Mollyanna with Hailey (can't spell that) Mills, we could not agree where to sit so he sat in the back row and I in the front, he got the bus home and I walked. He was so sweet he waited for me at the stop and then we went for a walk. We were both 10 years old, funny how thinks stick in your head like that, I remember he chose me as his date instead of Kay Hart. We only had the one date I wonder why:confused:

I was 10 years old for goodness sake, a girl at 10 thinks oh so differently from a boy of 10.:lol: and this was 1968 when a 10 year old was exactly that.

Later when I was working in a hospital he was an in-patient but no one believed I went out with, You may have gathered it was just Gregory Peck's name sake:D
