What's your claim to fame ?

ginny Just looked at your profile page - no photo so I can't compare!

Met Leslie Crowther, and have a photograph of him with our son, when he (Leslie) supported a fair in aid of handicapped children - lovely man. Also met one of the teams from the Lord Taveners Cricket when they came to play against the team my husband was playing for - Harry Secombe was there, what a character! I envy you feetlebaum.

I rode on an elephant at London Zoo in 1948.

As a child I was often told I looked like Hayley Mills and when we were on a 'plane years back the man who sat next to me said " Oh, I thought you were Hayley Mills. Don't think he would make the same mistake now, she is somewhat less rounded than me !

I travelled from Devon to London opposite Jennifer Saunders on the train.She was on her phone and laptop all the way discussing Comic Relief with..Dawn French? I was so engrossed trying to listen and spy discreetly that when I got off the train I left my case in the rack and spent an hour trying to locate it

Sat next to Hayley Mills at a theatre not so long ago and my friend started chatting to her . Turned out they were old friends from way back!
I was in a guard of honour for Princess Margaret when I was a Brownie. I only remember her make up - it was very thick and plastered on and she had bright red lipstick (funny what a 7 year old remembers).

I 've been on the television.

So far my vote goes to Numberplease who was cuddled by George Formby as a baby; nothing beats that. Well done, number. Number 2 position goes to.... ninathenana for sitting near Michael Caine in the station and number 3 position to tiggypiro being patted on the head at school by Jack Warner.These are my personal favourites of course, you will all have your own likes.There are so many happy memories on here, it's hard to choose the ones I like best really. Hope people keep contributing to this thread, as it's like a scrapbook combined with an autograph book.

The story of my life has been featured in a modern history book about Post War Women, I have film, albeit about 2 minutes long, in the Greenwich Museum and in June have someone coming from the Victoria Museum Melbourne to interview me - and I thought my life was so mundane!

Tea backstage with Peter Gabriel. Very nice man, interested in other people.
I was Jenni Murray's NCT teacher.
I have answered the phone to Vanessa Redgrave and a very unpleasant N Ireland protestant paramilitary who eventually got murdered in the Maze one boxing day.

I've had lunch with the Duchess of Gloucester and with Princess Anne - when Theseus was in the army for the first and with his work in the voluntary youth sector for the second.

I worked with Carol Ann Duffy when she was just starting out as a poet and came to our school to run a poetry course. That was in the times when students could have time to be creative...

I nursed Sting's grandma and his brother was an ex-boyfriend of my sister, does that count?.
Last week my grand daughter met Princess Anne when she came to the place where she works.

I also slept in the same bed as Justin Timberlake, not at the same time but the next night. It was at 1 Devonshire gardens in Glasgow and we were given the suite that he had used when he did a concert at the exhibition centre

TAB12 the queen was launching a ship and I was invited to lunch before the ceremony. DH was presented to her Maj after the launch.

I sat on the bench next to the one occupied by Michael Caine on Victoria station. I was about 14 at the time

I am loving this thread. Wish i'd been chatted up by marc bolan

I met Brian Johnson (AC/DC) and his wife on the Grand Union Canal.

Just remembered when I was a student (holiday job waitressing) I served fish and chips to Englebert Humperdinck when he was appearing at the Floral Hall in Southport.

I curtsied to the Queen Mother when she opened a new wing at our school.She had thick support stockings and bad veins in her legs-I was too shy to look up! (Lovely shoes though).

Oh , just remembered that I once made had lunch at my in-laws house with Peter West anyone remember him. I made him a ham sandwich.

DD2 was a contestant on Ready Steady Cook and she won.

I was in a sauna with Bianca Jagger. Just the two of us.

And I went to Primary School with Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues. He sat in front of me and was a good looking lad even then

I did some design work for the Moody Blues in the early 70's and went to a charity football match. Got a lot of evil eye from some of the fans although I wasn't that keen on the Moodies any way - they were nice blokes though.

Well mine are true! I have photographic evidence of me with the fab four.

Some of these stories are so hilarious;they may even be true!!!
