" Claims to fame"

Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, and is NON CH related - chat about the weather, or anything else that takes your fancy.

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.

I have also seen David Seaman in Waitrose a couple of times.
Wow, Amersham must be quite a place!

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.

And the best looking women in the country!
