I know that face!

I saw Elton John in a shopping mall in Hongkong once.
And Kevin Whately at Newcastle Airport.

Oh and a few weeks ago I saw our local constituency MP Guy Opperman having dinner with Keith Vaz in our local Indian Restaurant, Haveli.
Apparently it came fourth in a competition to find MPs' favourite restaurants

We saw Tanni Grey Thompson in Boots one day [at least, we're pretty sure it was her].

I shared a lift with David Essex after being at his pantomime. I was dumbstruck as he spoke to me, just nodded, DOH! Peter Kay was in our local Asda but then he's pretty common around these parts, lol.

I literally bumped into Mick Jagger down the Kings Road in the 60s. A big car with tinted windows pulled up ahead of me and several young men dashed out and up an alley. The last one bumped into me and nearly knocked me over.

To stop me falling he put his hands on my shoulder and said 'sorry love', are you all right?' and only then did I recognise him. Then he too dashed up the alley following (.presumably) the rest of the Stones.

Years ago we were leaving Paddington Station when a man who I sure was Michael Foot was going into the station. He was tall and very distinguished looking. He didn't come across well on TV.

I was with some friends in the cafe in the Pavilion gardens in Buxton and as we walked out I saw a man looking at the pictures on display. I was pretty sure he had been a colleague of H's but couldn't remember his name so I looked at his wife before going across in case she triggered my memory. It was a good job I did as it was the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and the reason he looked so familiar was that a series about Chatsworth had recently been on television.

I came face to face with Ronnie Corbett a couple of years ago.
I am short, but he was shorter!
He had come out of his car as I was walking along the pavement. Just as I was getting used to seeing him, a man opened a door for him in some sort of office, and he was ushered upstairs.

Passed Jim Davidson in the street. Shared a lift with Greg Rutherford. Saw Jennifer Saunders and Ade when having coffee in St Mawes earlier in the year. Clem Curtis ( Build me up Buttercup) lives just up the road from us. I once made a sandwich for Peter West at my In-laws house.

Oh , and Kevin Whately gets around . I saw him at the local cinema.

Frank Field on the tube, Saturday.

I was sure I'd seen Benny Hill once and happily told people about it until someone told me he'd died ages ago. Somewhere there's a lucky lookee likee!

We saw Hugh Lawrie in a queue at an airport in USA, having to slum it like the rest of us

I once sat at a table in a restaurant next to the late Magnus Magnusson (he was lovely) and more recently at one next to Andrew Marr ( who is much shorter than he appears on the telly) and Nick Knowles ran past me at speed in Sainsburys recently clutching a bottle of milk. Sooo exciting [not]. He is very tall and very suntanned. The best one was Julian Fellows on an Easyjet flight to Sardinia - we watched him stand back with his rather portly son, while his very aristocratic wife heaved their luggage onto a trolley and then push it while they trotted along behind

I saw Timothy West and Prunella Scales having a cuppa in a cafe in Stratford Upon Avon. I saw David Soul in Birmingham City Centre and also saw Lulu looking around the shops in Brum.
Back in the day I regularly saw various members of the Crossroads cast in Birmingham

Waiting at Palma airport for son to join on us on hols, when Rafa Nadal came through arrivals having just won French open, he was utterly charming and friendly, stopped for pictures with lots of people.

I literally walked into Lenny Henry during an airport stopover on the way to Thailand and he very kindly apologised to me when it was me that was at fault. He is huge.

And Martin Clunes filming Doc Martin in Port Isaac. He was lovely.

Just asked DH this and he reminded me that he'd seenRoger Moore in a shopping mall in Monaco. He was also once behind Bob Geldof in the security queue at Heathrow

I saw a face I thought I recognised this morning, then I realised I was looking in the shaving mirror.

I saw John Prescott at a payphone on Doncaster station once. He glanced over, then did a double take as he saw a whole trainload of people going "ooh look there's John Prescott".

I passed Patrick Moore in the street once. Jimmy Savile cycled past waving at everyone in a traffic jam we were stuck in.

Simon Rattle in a lift at Heathrow. Shorter than me, but with the headful of curls.

Oh and Bamber Gascoigne on the ferry to France. Old but elegant!

We once saw Buster Merryfield (Uncle Albert) whilst having a coffe in a garden centre - he was at another table (I know, why not at mine you ask)! We decided not to bother him as he was enjoying his drink and/or meal, it's not fair to him is it?

I spent half an hour talking to a bloke at a Northamptonshire cricket match before somebody told me he was Eric Clapton.
