Ive met a good few over the years...mainly to do with work. Some great, some not so great to meet....
Tony Robinson (lives round here) and he hates having Blackadder mentioned, in fact his agent tells you not to mention it at all or he refuses to do any charity work (thats why we contacted him).
Queen, P. Charles, P. Anne an other *suits* all visited area where I worked..I find it more disruptive than anything and cant be fussed with it all so normally locked myself away in the office).
The one I was most in awe of was Cary Grant. I was about 15 walking home and this massive car pulled up. Window is wound down an this fella asks for directions to a little known street. Turned out he was doing a tour of his old hunting grounds of where he grew up.
An the best of all was Morecombe and Wise...... should have been back in school but went walkabout with mates and found them both opening a shopping centre. We spent hours chatting away and having a laugh with them both...and they didnt mind a bunch of school gals wittering on one bit, Brilliant!!

Back in the 90s when I was still a motorcyclist, I popped into a local bike shop for an MOT or something, and there was Pat Sharp chewing the fat with the owner. I looked at Pat, he looked at me, and I relalised who he was, then there was that aukward look from the celeb when they know you know who they are... But boy, he did look plain without his make up!
Thanks Louise, glad someone remembers!
Im wondering if we've been with the same bloke as my ex Mother In Law had the very same hairy chin!
Roy Woods of Wizard shops regularly in the local supermarket
The colour of the hair / beard changes weekly so no mistaking him
