I drove Percy Sugden (Former ‘Coronation Street’ character)
Wife home as we where doing work on her car also met a
pop star from the 80’s through work but cannot remember
is name.
In my life before driving when I worked in the licensed trade and did a spell in the West End of London I have served meals and/or drinks to, among others: Leonard Rossiter, Mollie Sugden, Tommy Steele, Paul Daniels and Debbie Mcgee, Dusty Springfield, and a load of others I have forgotten. Peter Bowles (used to be in that ‘comedy’ To the Manor Born) was a regular at another pub I worked in in Barnes, south west London. Just round the corner from the pub I managed in West London was a recording studio and the guy who ran it was good friends with Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt from Status Quo and they were regular customers.
I also once refused to take a cheque from a fairly well known ‘rock star,’ who shall remain nameless, because he didn’t have his cheque card with him and I didn’t recognise him. The amount was for less than a fiver, it was company policy not to accept cheques without a card, and maybe his signature on the cheque would have been worth more than the amount if only we had had ebay in those days.
Put a marquee up at Pat Sharp’s house.
He used to present a 90’s childrens show called Fun House on the BBC if you havent heard of him. Think he also done radio work.
MY wife’s step father was at school with Prince Charles & did some private tutoring for his younger brother.
I use to work for a small Charity & we had support from Richard Baker (News reader & Proms presenter,) Jane Asher & others I can’t remember, but we got to meet them all.
At an HIV hospice I got to meet all sorts of celebrities, (HIV is celebrity chic it seems,) including several of the stars of Prisoner Cell Block H & Sue Pollard, who I have to say is one of the nicest most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
I don’t care what any one else thinks, she really was everything she is on TV plus.
I also had to move my truck to let Martin Brundle get out of the family garage.
I met Roger Lloyd Pack,aka Trigger,from Fools and Horses,at Gravesend last year.
I’ve also met the following ex world rally drivers from the 80’s and 90’s through my background in motorsport,when I used to go rallying/officiating.
