Anyone friends with a famous person? I don't mean live in the same village, see them in Tesco's or know their second cousin - I mean actual buddies.

I sold Paul Whitehouse and his wife and kids ice creams, I also sang "The wonder of you" on stage with Bobby Davro, I sat next to John Virgo at Wembley a few years ago (England Vs Portugal - he didn't have a waist coat on), Mick Hucknall send me a signed photo and said I was a nice girl. Nope I don't know anyone properly famous.

My uncle was Cliff Adams (Sing Something Simple) and originally in a very famous 50's group called 'The Stargazers'. However, that is going back to my prehistoric past and nobody except us golden oldies would even have heard of him.

One day everybody thought that I was the queen, cos we dint know she was acomin' n we went for a whirl in our ol' jag an' all along the esplanade people was lined up excitedly, so I just waved a lot. I think that they all went home happy, 'cept her, a course.
