My sister went out with Ozzie Osbourne's brother.

I went to school with Ozzie Osbourne's niece.
She was in the year above me.
I never spoke to her.

Small world Fanny . Ozzie"s brother was lovely.

My Mother and our dog were on the Eamon Andrews show (was it called Today?)

Why? How was the dog involved?

Sorry FANNY it's the only one I've got

In the late 70s my window cleaner was the boyfriend of Karen Barber, who with partner, came second to Torvill and Dean at the British championship.

I've just remembered!!! When I was in my teens I used to babysit for Glendale Jackson'sister

Is that better Fanny?

It was a chihuahua which managed to bite the postman’s finger as he pushed the post through the letterbox!!! It made the local and national press! (Very embarrassing for me as a teenager ☺️)

I stroked the neck of Harvey Smith’s horse in the 70’s

Glenda not Glendale

I was once in a queue behind Katy Price.
Not more obscure than that.

I sat at the next table to Gary Lineker and his family in a pub in Devon. I had my back to him so didn't notice him until I got up to leave.

As a baby I was cuddled by George Formby, and in 1997 I was on Fifteen to One. My youngest daughter and myself were in the Strictly audience last year, but we couldn`t see ourselves on TV, duh!

I may have mentioned this before sorry, but I was chatted up as a teenager by the Rolling Stones, Mick in particular. Years later met Glenda Jackson who took me to lunch.
My friend sat with the Beatles in Broadcasting House ( they were waiting fir the crowds of screaming fans outside to disperse and she was waiting fir her dad to pick her up). She chatted and got their autographs.
Another had dinners at Buck House and Highgrove. It went to her head.
My dh saw the queen on and off the royal train sometimes. The queen is tiny.
More recently came across The Crown being filmed in Rye. Series 3, the one with PM and Roddy Lewellyn . They must have their own car collection as we saw the same cars in the new series.
My friend’s partner worked with PW and PH ( before PH married).
Oh and my dd went out with someone whose uncle was one of The Who. My dh is a big fan and hoped it would lead to marriage ....visions of jamming at the reception. Sadly relationship was brief.
That’s about it, definitely vacuous. They are people like us, good and bad, just a lot richer and more famous.

Well, I stood two people behind Tessa Peake-Jones (Raquel in 'Only Fools and Horses') in a queue in Boots chemist about 20 years ago

Glenda used to work in Boots

Just remembered, I had a coffee in a very small cafe in Wales and Frances de la Tour sat at the next table.
I have also seen several Corrie actors out and about in Manchester.

Acted in As You Like It with a future Wales Rugby International. He played Charles the Wrestler.

When I worked at Boots Honor Blackmail came in and bought a bottle of Paracetamol tablets.

I once saw Alan Bates on the upper deck of a London Bus, I was 17.
Also I saw Eddie Murphy driving a red open top car while on a sightseeing tour bus in L A.

We were having afternoon tea in Reid’s in Madeira when David Gower came in with his family. He was refused a table as he was wearing shorts. Complete gentleman about it, he booked for the next day

I spent the day with George Harrison when he was house-hunting in Cornwall. Really lovely guy.

And I was working at the BBC when transmission changed from black and white to colour.

And once I swallowed a contact lens.

Blackmail??
