have met a few famous faces, Sir Cliff Richard at the wine fair at Excel who has a vineyard in Portugal & we spent the rest of the afternoon drinking his wine, dont remember much else from that day neither does he, but he loves a good sound system in a car. Most of the Royals, but Fred Dibnah was one of the best  ;)

If you live or work in central London, they're a dime a dozen:

The Queen (opened the new biology department at my uni)

David Puttnam (Chariotts of Fire producer) guest lecturer for a short while at the same uni, just after getting fired as head of Sony Pictures

Bamber Gascoigne (who? lol)

Boris Becker at Heathrow, back when he wasn't very famous

John Clees, also at Heathrow

Danni Minogue (on the escalator at Leicester Sq station)

David Prowse aka Darth Vader (dressed up as Green Cross Code  Man on a visit to my school)

Couple of actors from the Bill, but their characters are long forgotten now.

Only "celeb" of sorts were Debbie Magee (sp) and that little magician Paul Daniels, oh and Sooty ( or the guy who now sticks his hand up his bum!).  Apart from that a few titled tofs (Lord Bath, Earl of Devon and the odd Baronet and Knight)  ... oh, used to live a few houses away from Ian Botham in his Somerset days. Had a couple of coffees with Anthony Adolph --- but no-one will know him  ::)

When I used to do a proper job, I have fixed the phones of Rowan Atkinson (nice bloke), David Jason (decent), DLT (bit of a idiot, but good tipper :y), some old silver screen actress who's stage name escapes me (lovely lady), the big bird off Birds of a Feather (nice lady).

On the tube, I bumped into the greek bloke from London's Burning, exchanged pleasantries, then watched as the bloke stood behind him dribbled down his coat ;D
