One of the first jobs I did for the show company I worked for was setting up a very large tent and stage alongside the Alexader palace, and return to remove the flooring two days later, on arrival to collect the flooring I was told to park for the night on site and uplift it in the morning, our crew went into the bar and we sat with the Spice girls.
I met many more celebs on that job and did a show in Walsal with Tina Hobley (Sam from Corronation St) she was good fun :laughing:
I met most F1 drivers and countless TV personalities on the job.

I was doing a London job in a van a few years ago, and heading up towards Marble Arch, stopped at the traffic lights when a big silver Mercedes pulled up alongside. In the back was Pete Waterman (of Poop,sorry Pop Idol fame)on his mobile phone,probably chatting to Simon Cowell!!
