Who would you like to meet. That’s it really, though they must be living. And can we add GNers one would like to meet.

I don’t have any desire to meet celebrities. I don’t find most of them interesting. I’d like to meet up with my sister again, but I know that’s impossible due to her mental health issues. I like meeting up with my friends and family, those are the most important people to me (and I’m sure to all of you too.)

I'd like to meet ...

One of the founders of the SAS, I don't know his name but he recently turned 100.

I know why nobody on GN wants to meet me. It's due to my prowess on the Farting thread. Understandable really.

😂
In my case I think it is because members are scared of making others jealous.
I’ll take that 🤩

This is a bit like the last person to be chosen for a team in a PE lesson 😱

Which was always me Susie.

And some of us know all too well what that feels like

I would have liked to have met Greatnan, Jingl and Phoenix although we were in email contact - all three sadly missed

Im not into the celebrity culture but I would like to meet Queen Camilla abnd Princess Anne. The latter I admire for her no nonsense "say it like you mean" it approach and the way she just gets on with things.

I would like to meet GSM but unfortunately she was banned in a way that has never been explained by the management.

I've always said I'm not dazzled by celebrity, I wouldn't recognise one if I fell over them in the street but my son and I were walking from King's Cross station and called in for lunch at the café/restaurant opposite Central St. Martin's College and, who should walk through but Esme Young! Hardly surprising, since she teaches at the college but I kind of squeaked, grabbed my son's arm and went, "It's Esme!"

I do sew and make my own clothes. That's my excuse for being star struck. So, I'll join the Esme Young party if I'm welcome...

Oh - if there's a group of last -to -be - chosen- for -the - team, I'd like to join please.
Sorry - I've deviated...

I’d love to meet David Attenborough. David Jason. Helen Mirren I’m sure they would have many tales to tell. But as far as wanting to meet any gransnetters not really. I have met two from mumsnet though and we have been friends for several years

I've met many celebrities, including David Attenborough, Michael Caine, Tom Jone and best of all the all time 'love of my life' George Harrison. Many more. Some at book signings some not. My starstruck days have gone. The only exception might be Paul McCartney. I've seen him a few times but never to talk to. Not that I talked to George. He talked, I gawped.

To be honest, nobody really.

I have met:
Chef Joan Roca
Chef Angel León
Chef Paco Roncero
Chef Karlos Arguiñano
Chef Joël Robuchon (passed away)

And uncountable others, being a journalist and owner and founder of a digital pdf magazine.

So, perhaps, Chef Adam Handling of Restaurant Frog in London and Chef Alex Dilling of the Hôtel Café Royal, London.

Would like to meet all, but since that’s not possible ( I have met a few, all lovely), here goes:
James and Jon
Smiles
Urms
MissA
Callis
Nanna8
GSM and so many more

Please do join me!

Nobody, really. Though as I get older I do have an increasingly long and grumpy list of people I'd cross the road to avoid.

Flat footed, no competitive, short,new at the school.

The memories come flooding back.

Me too 😂😂😂😂😂

Good post Maw. Though Greatnan did tell me off when I first joined.

Kate1949, I'd like to meet you - I think we'd bond.

biglouis, I have met Princess Anne and, as you might guess, she was really on top of her brief.

I agree kitty

The Princess of Wales
Wendy Cope the poet

M0nica because I like her fairly tough no-nonsense attitude

Famous people - Dave Grohl, Billie Joe Armstrong and Kathy Burke.
And I'm happy to be a fully paid-up member of the 'chosen last for PE' club too! I'd happily meet any GNetter - even the ones with whom I often cross swords.

Just to be clear JamesandJon is just one person.
