In the 90's, I lived in Box, near Corsham. Peter Gabriel's Realworld Studios were a few minutes walk from the flat and he lived about quarter of a mile away in the valley.

My cousin works for Peter Gabriel.

Don Maclean used to live on my road. Unfortunately he wasn't the one who sung 'American Pie', he was the one on Crackerjack.

CRACKERJACK
Cant beleive no one else done that

 

[Kestevan]

Lived next door to Leslie Dunlop for a few years. Was invited to her house warming when most of the cast of "Where the Heart is" turned up.
Nice lady.

I remember that story, particularly the "secret cave" for the boat. Was Howard Marks involved?

Probably ! (if it makes it a better story, but I've no idea)

 

[Crackle]

Is he still doing 'our tune'

Is he still doing 'our tune'

No, he does early morning/ breakfast, talks shite and has bumpkin guests on. Wifey listens to it for traffic news, so I have to endure it on the odd occasion she takes me into work

What I forgot to mention was the flat I was in used to be lived in by Joe "It's Different for Girls" Jackson.

I received several telephone calls for him, but I got the impression he had moved out several years before I moved in.

I've just found out that my new next door neighbour is called 'Mohammed Ali'

And there aren't many called that,so maybe it's the famous one(!)

No famous neighbours I can think of but we had a shop in a well known tourist spot in Scotland. Anybody who was anybody came in at one time or other from film stars to politicians. Don't know of any infamous murderers but we probably had them as well. Most of them very very nice people.
