Next door plus one was a local celeb because she had 6 kids by the time she 19.

Hastings local rag ran a celebration of 5 generations of underage sexual activity for one great-great-great-great grandmother. She must have been the wrong side of 65.

Gary Stevens of Everton and Rangers fame lived at the end of my road, in a small one bedroomed flat with his wife. I don't imagine many England internationalists live in such modes homes nowadays.

Our next door neighbour was Peter Cellier who often played villains on the TV or a butler. He had a stick up his azz in real life too and was an awful snob, he made my son aged 6 cry for leaning over the wall that separated us. He was eaten by a giant rat in Doctor Who the kids were cheering for the rat from behind the sofa.

Is it that bloody awful Steve 'I've been doing the same BIG show everyday for a million years and no ones got the gumption to retire me' Wright?

Master Bates is still plying his trade on Radio Devon. Almost worth going down for.

Quite a few footballers and ex-footballers, mainly from Everton and Liverpool, live near to me (but in much more salubrious houses). Alan Hansen, Kenny Dalglish, Mark Lawrenson, Graham Stuart, Ian Snodin, Mike Newell and Ronnie Whelan spring readily to mind. I sometimes see some of them out and about in the area. One Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago, I was riding my bike down the road when I saw a bloke walking a small dog, he was trying to get it to sit at the kerb as he was going to cross the road; as I reached him, he looked up and it was Kenny Dalglish. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking too quickly and missed my opportunity to shout out to him, "Good result for Burnley yesterday, Kenny", it was the morning after Burnley beat Liverpool 2-0

Another mention for Ozzy... my BIL used to play guitar with Ozzy before Ozzy married and went off the rails. They were almost neighbours.

Or infamous neighbours.
A friend at uni whose real name was Biggs later found out that the English lady who had been living next door was also named Biggs (Mrs R. Biggs).

My old boss was a Commander RN and at one time was CO of HMS Danae. His crew went ashore in Rio and brought back Biggs R, formerly of HMP Wandsworth, for drinkies. This quite interrupted his afternoon, but he has got the original artwork of a newspaper cartoon depicting the event. Caption: I say Mr Biggs, can we have her back in time for the Jubilee review.
