Many years ago worked with a chap who was told he looked like DLT (Dave Lee Travis), when Mr Travis got his collar felt for a sexual misdemeanour, the lad said "Look chaps he a nonce, can you call me something else!!......and someone said ""How about Rolf....after Rolf Harris"".... our lad was overjoyed, "Thats great...No problem with him"
I was in a petrol station in Dartford around 10 years, when this lady was very insistent that I was Fred Elliott from coronation street, frankly she was a right pain (I never even heard of him as never seen coronation street wanting an autograph etc. so eventually I signed her scrap of paper and managed to get away. Googled him, and to be fair there was a very slight resemblance especially the hair cut, but there was a funny side he’s been dead for nearly 10 years.

Used to be told Richard Hammond (small & cute) which I never minded, last week somebody said James May! All I need now is Jeremy Clarkson and I will know I'm meeting too many people on mind bending drugs.
Oh and wife just reminded me of when the girls shouted out "Prince Farquaad" after coming home from barbers, having received a bloody awful haircut.
Remember doing on of those face recognition programs that tells you your celebrity lookalike. Can't have been the most refined algorithm, because mine came back as former US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. I'm neither black nor a woman.
When we used to be seated in the open area behind the goal at Fratton Park, I remember someone being in our allocated seats so gobby old Fanny ( yes, even in those days !) "politely" asked them to move...
The response was " Keep your hair on, Annie Lennox !"
I did wear my hair somewhat shorter in those days....

although the missus colleagues at work reckon I look like Jason Statham. I’ll take that👍🏻
