I accidentally queue jumped in front of Richard Osman at the bookshop in St.Pancras. I looked up and said "oh its you" and he replied "yes it's me!" And kindly allowed me to go in front of him.

I've posted about this before, but Prince Charles flirted with me at a ball in Windsor Castle.

Mel Gibson apologise to me .

Well, I was walking backwards from my sisters house, he clambered off a canal barge and I stepped on his foot, he said sorry .

And Salmen Rushdie helped me carry shopping to my car

Des O'Connor has been in my house (before we bought it) and I spoke to Jonathan Price today in a local theatre cafe. I asked for the spare chair at his table. Didn't realise it was him until I got home and Googled him. Knew he was someone I had seen on TV

I was on Fifteen-to-One in 1997.

My friend and I had a drink at a theatre interval with Tim Healey. Not everyone's cup of tea, but a real nice bloke.

When I was at school, I presented the second Countess, Raine Spencer with her tea tray when she gave the prizes at Speech Day.
I also ate dinner with fashion designer, John Rocha in. Dublin restaurant. Only he didn’t know it was me sitting on the next table! grin

Well, I have harped on many times about my claim to fame. I saw many of the '60s pop stars live. I saw the Beatles a few times and have many stories to tell about my escapades. I, along with a few others, won a competition to sit behind the Beatles on stage while they performed for a TV show. I have a photo of myself sitting behind them which I have had blown, up and framed. My family and friends (and probably GNetters, are sick of the story) but you did ask smile

My claim to fame is I have spoken on the phone to Princess Diana's mother. Back in the distant past I was a shipping clerk in London and the company shipped Shand Kidd wallpapers. Mr Kidd at the time was having a relationship with Diana's mother and she helped him with the business. We always referred to her as Lady Althorpe when speaking to her.
