    Back in the 70's I was an apprentice in the same electrical repair workshop at Chatham Dockyard as Dave Whitcombe was working. I had a 3 month secondment working in his area. The day before the Christmas break we all brought our darts in and played darts at lunchtime. Actually played against Dave. Can't remember if I won. Would like to think I did, but don't really remember. Not long after that he turned Pro. Had no idea who I had played until he appeared on the telly in the 80's playing World Championships.

    I couldn't have resisted the urge to say, politely, "It's all your fault you know...".

    Quite a few years back I was in a pub in Eastbourne and Anthony Booth was at the bar. Getting a drink for his wife Elsie Tanner. Later Tommy Cooper came in as large as life.

    Curb it - are these celebrities more withi. Your range? ;0)

    I served Barney Harwood in a board game shop in Greenwich about 6 years ago. Thats as exciting as it gets for me. Think he bought some dice and a pack of cards.

    Did he have Nev The Blue Bear with him? Now he's a pucker celebrity.

    A couple of years ago Mrs cafcfan bumped into Suzi Quatro in an optician's in Chelmsford. But Suzi hadn't made an appointment and nothing was available. Seems like an odd thing to do - pop into an opticians on the off chance.
    I'm sure there must be some appropriate lyrics from one of her songs, Stumblin' In maybe?

    I saw Des O'Connor at bologna airport. I didn't think it was him but my girlfriend assured me it was. Went and stood next to him at the baggage carousel to get a better look, ascertained it was him and then helped him get the mother of all bags off the belt for him.

    I once met Arthur Lowe in a pub quiz in Catford.
    He asked me what I thought was a tricky question 'What does surrender mean?'
    I said, 'I give up'.
    How we laughed.

    My mum used to see Suzi Quattro going round Key Markets in Chelmsford. Now Morissons. Always had a black eye from her wanker of a husband.

    Oh, and I've shook hands with our illustrious owner (but that wasn't in the toilet).

    You shook 'hands' with Roland ? You should have shook him warmly by the 'neck' :wink:

    Badly cut up by a black 911 going to Luton airport, only to find Nick Faldo my then hero at the wheel, we had a brief exchange of views and carried on, only to meet in the airport at the bar, had a drink and continued following his career.
