What's your claim to fame?

[geti-titanium]

Which famous celebrity or icon of the modern age have you met or stood behind in the checkout in Aldi's?

My own personal encounters of this kind are a bit dismal and I'm really scraping the barrell with these.

I once stood behind 'Miss Diane' out of Crossroads at a checkout in Waitrose in Harborne and Benny (also from Crossroads) used to manage a bar up until recently in the jewellery Quarter - I stood next to him one night.

I also once sat next to Central News superstar Bob Warman on a flight to Majorca - didn't speak to him though.

I've recently made a Diamond set Titanium guitar pick for ex Led Zeppelin singer, Robert Plant.

And, finally, the bloke behind the counter in my local chip shop looks a bit like former King of England, Henry the VIII - it's a bit of a comedown for him if it is him though!

Anybody got better experiences?

Okay:

• I used to go drinking with Madeline Bell (singer with Blue Mink from yonks ago)
• I did a radio show to promote my book with Anna Raeburn. While I was there I tripped down some steps and Paul Ross helped me up and made me a cuppa
• I dealt roulette to: Neil Diamond, Freddie Starr, Anthea Redfern and Bruce Forsythe, and Leo Sayer
• I was abused (verbally) by Oliver Reed when he was playing craps
• I went out for a while with Michael Wale, who used to be a weatherman on Thames TV - he was a tightwad
• I've nodded hello to Joss Ackland when walking on the Tarka trail

I think that's it

but I'm green with envy over Robert Plant - a hero from my younger days

OOOh! An impressive first portfolio - Big from me

I haven't actually given it to him - I've still got it in my pocket in case I bump into him out drinking in his home town. I have friends who have met him though - so I think that might count

Whoa, hold on there cowboy, does he know you have actually made it for him?

If not then I have made jewellery for over 200 celbrities including the Queen, Kate Bush, ronnie Corbett, Peter Kay, the guy from "Extras" who played the agent and loads more.
I carry them in my van just in case they happen to be in my local boozer, note , my local boozer, I feel that s I made the item then the least they can do is come to me to collect it.............assuming I tell them of course.

My claim to fame....well there are lots of them and Some I have worked with/for others I have met and others I was in regular correspondence with until they died.

Marcel Marceau
HM Queen
Prince Charles
Prince Andrew
Princess Anne
Prince Edward
Princess Diana
Duchess of Gloucster
President Gorberchov (?sp)
President Mitterand (?sp)
Margaret Thatcher
Duncan Williamson
Only world leader of the 80's that I did not meet/ work with was Ronald Reagan

Unfortunately I cannot say what was dicussed due to the official secrets act. So I am afraid no juicy stories but I do have some anecdotes which I may divulge late at night after one to many glasses.

[Di Sandland]

yeah - but no titanium guitar pick for Robert Plant. I am sick with envy (well, sort of) he was my hero. The original cock rocker
