I was in a bar 2 years ago and Robbie Williams came in...... I smiled at him and he did a double take as if to say "Do I know you?" and smiled back....... He has the saddest eyes i have ever seen and he's very short!! ;o)

Paul and Debbie, The Krankies have been doing panto. in Glasgow every Christmas for years now and believe it or not they are terrific. M.I.L. buys tickets every year for the whole family and it is a great night! honest :-) Tricia

I'll take your word for it lol Saying that, I couldn't stand cannon and ball either, but saw them once when we were in Yarmouth (dull, dull holiday lol) and they were very good.

when I lived in Harrow, about 12 of us nurses went out for a meal and the waitress came to tell us cliff Richard was in the other half of the resturant , well you never saw so many people go in and out of the " Ladies " just to have a look at him ,and I can say he looks the same off stage or telly as he does on. also saw June Brown (Dot Cotton ) coming out of a shop on her way to Elstree, when I said it to the bloke in the shop he said he dident know who she was and would look at the telly , next day he told me , "she comes in every day ". Margaret.

Debbie, I don't think it was Alex Ferguson, was it Ron Atkinson - he is orange and wears a lot of gold, he is a pundit on ITV nowadays I think.... and Jeanette - how dare you say that about Dave the Rave Essex !!!! Maz. XX

Maz Yes that's him, as you have probably gathered I know nothing about football. When he came in and asked me who he had in his Taxi I said who. when he told me I said yer and so what big deal. Debbie I know David Beckham, Mick Channon and Kevin Keegan and yes I do know that the last two dont play anymore.

I have served Ray Reardon, the snooker player, when I worked behind the bar of a local golf club. He used to visit friends who were members of the club and he used to have a round or two of golf. A very courteous and charming man to everyone. I have an old £1 note signed by him. Viv.

Maz Sorry to disappiont you but he really was! We went to see him in concert which was absolutely fabulous. The friend I was with was a real big fan of his and insisted we went back to the hotel he was staying in. To my amazement we were allowed in and made a beeline for him. After about 5mins I decided he wasn't worth the bother so I spent the rest of the night talking to the Real Thing who were supporting him. What a lovely bunch of blokes they were. To be honest I think he was on something. He certainly wasn't on the same planet as the rest of us! lol Jeanette

My hubby and I met Alec Guiness in a Hotel over the road from where we used to live. Also met Charlie Watts of Rolling Stones, and sat about 10 yards from Linda & Paul McCartney in a Pub in Wallasey but didn't have the nerve to approach them! Actor Michael Jayston, he's a regular in local pub. Lynda

More recently my friend and I met at a concert, "Chip" Hawkes from the Tremeloes and Dave Dee from DD, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
