Famous Shoppers

I ran into Kate Humble in Waitrose today. Almost literally, she made a sudden swerve at the checkout and nearly knocked me off my little Skunk legs. Naughty Kate. She's bigger than she looks, although my telly is quite small. I wished I had a little animal to give her. She likes those.

Who have you met in Waitrose, and what did you want to give them?

You're lucky she didn't stuff you in a rucksack and take you down to London Zoo.

I bumped into Roger McGough on the tube. I wanted to give him Lily in pink.

I also bumped into Cliff Richard in Finchley. I wanted to give him a summer holiday.

You give such nice gifts, Peaceful. If you had an amillion pounds to give away to someone you met in a bus shelter, why would you?

My mother and I once followed Anthony Head (of Buffy fame) around the women's clothing section of Jolly's (House of Fraser) in Bath. He was even more gorgeous in real life!

hehe

I sat next to Enoch Powell on the tube I think he might well have been dead though, I guess that doesn't count then? I must get out more.

Sat with Arsene Wenger in a hotel bar at Charles De Gaulle airport. Just me and him for a couple of hours. He had steak frites and I had five pints of Stella. We didn't speak. I think he was respecting my privacy.

I don't shop in Waitrose, I did however run into Jon Snow from Channel 4 news and was surprised how tall he was.
I used to bump into Uncle Albert from only fools and horses all the time and he looked axactly the same in real life.
More recently I sat between Kristian Guru Murphy, (also a channel 4 newsreader, does that make me a stalker) and Iaain Duncan-Smith, and Duncan-Smith poured me a drink!
