Re: " Claims to fame"
I used to live next door to Lord Longford in Hurst Green.
We were invited for mince pies and mulled wine every Christmas.
We were on intimate terms, though my father objected when I called him 'Frank'.
We used to see him striding down the A21 in gardening trousers held up by a piece of string, on his way to visit Malcolm Muggeridge in Robertsbridge.
I was taken to Mr Muggeridge's house and introduced to him. (Can't remember by whom or why - probably only because I was at CH...)
There is only one (easily spotted) blatant lie above.

Wow, Amersham must be quite a place!englishangel wrote:Within a half a mile of where I live is Robert Kilroy Silk, Noel Gallagher lived a bit further away, Leo Sayer lived along the road as did David Platt. Graeme Le Saux lived just round the corner from my office and the company I used to work for sold Martin Kemp's house and I was standing behind him in the chippy last week. I have also seen David Seaman in Waitrose a couple of times.

Easy access to London (and cheaper access as we have mainline and Metropolitan Tube in competition) M1, M25, M40 all within a few miles. Heathrow 20 minutes, Luton about the same.Tim_MaA_MidB wrote:Wow, Amersham must be quite a place!englishangel wrote:Within a half a mile of where I live is Robert Kilroy Silk, Noel Gallagher lived a bit further away, Leo Sayer lived along the road as did David Platt.
