My first brush with fame was spotting the actor who played the man who ran the caf� in Last Of The Summer Wine while on a school trip to London. I can still recall the giddy excitement. He's dead now.
I went on to shake hands with Macca at a New Year's Eve party held by one of his relatives. I recall he had a pleasantly chunky, button-up cardigan on, presumably a Christmas gift.

On a note local to anyone in Yorkshire, my daughter goes to school with the daughter of the Yorkshire Television weatherman, John Mitchell, and my wife has twice accidentally rammed her shopping trolley into tanned YTV news presenter Peter Levy.
