Working behind the counter in laddies a good few years back some guy came in and I served him and out he went. As he was walking away one of the girls I was working with said that's so-&-so from Londons Burning. Like I had a f**king clue who it was!

Actually it could have been Soldier Soldier. I'm not sure, but it was a truly underwhelming experience.

Fat Vegas lookalike from Halifax ad behind the counter in their Lowestoft branch. We tried to 'high five' smashed the partition and set off the alarm! He started singing 'Gold' at the top of his voice. Made my excuses and left.

Whilst waiting for a train at brighton station Gary Clayle(?) asked me for a light. He was a one hit wonder. Bobby Gilesppe from Primal Scream met him and off they went on a train.

Actually saw Bobby Gilesppe on London Road in Brighton at the time that Get Your Rocks Off was in the charts. He was dressed in all the leather clothing he wore in the video. He went into the cheap cigarette shop next to laddies.

The bloke who played Les the landlord of the pub in Men Behaving Badly. His name was Dave Atkins and came across as a decent bloke - we had a couple of those highly intellectual lager affected man chats at the urinals in my old local near Watford after quite a heavy night and a bit of a lock in.

I met Wayne Rooney in Liverpool. I had a bad back so needed a massage.
I think he probably had the same problem.

I also saw Lionel Blair. A lot of celebrities play it low-key as not to be recognised. Not this guy. We were sat having a bit of food outside a restaurant in Cheltenham. Blair, as camp as Larry Grayson, says hello really loudly to everyone even though no-one had said anything to him and pranced into the restuarant, seems like a nice bloke but a bit bizarre.

Met the third milky bar kid in a bar in Majorca. His nickname was "Milky", he was surrounded by birds, and that fact he was the third milky bar kid was a heavy focus of the evening. He was mid forties ffs.

I was in a nightclub several years ago in Newcastle. The barmaid kept setting me up with free drinks, at the end of the night I was plastered. Next day my mate showed me photo's of himself and the popgroup Blue who were apparently standing alongside us. The best thing was I remember joking and taking the piiss out of the black guy but I never recognised them. Probably because of my relaxed attitude, the barmaid must have thought I was part of their crew.

Waiting in the departure lounge in LA en route to Hawaii, this bloke seemed to be getting a lot of attention, and was surrounded by autograph hunters.
"Whos that" I said to the man next to me
"Its my wifes favourite actor" he said
"Whats his name"
"Dunno"

Never did find out who he was, but think he was a soap actor .
Sort of an American Dirty Dan.

Glad i didnt share a Taxi with him!
