I was pouring myself home one evening with a mate when (1988/9) a large Hyundai pulled up.....
"Excuse me lads.... " said the familiar N.I. Accent.......
Over we wobbled
"Can you tell me the way to the Regency (now the Burleydam)"

"Bloody hell, it's Frank Carson!!! Tell us a joke Frank!"

"Lads, I'm in a rush, can you just give me directions?"

"Go on Frank, say it's a cracker, go on, it's the way you tell 'em!"

"PLEASE lads, I'm really late"

"Frank, tell us a joke, go on, it's a cracker!"

"Look lads, I'm incredibly late!!!" (He was getting mardy by now)

"Top of the road turn right at the lights go along the A41 for about 3 miles, it's on your left"

Miserable git. He was late for a cabaret night apparently.

For a bonus point, can you tell me the pub (now defunct) we were outside in Great Sutton/ Ellesmere Port.

I once cooked a chicken casserole for the Undertones, I've taken a witness statement from Christa Ackroyd, as well as Bruce Springsteen's manager. I went to school with Daniel Sandford, plus a few other notables, but on a cycling relevance scale, @SatNavSaysStraightOn and I bumped into David Blunkett on a ride through Chatsworth once.

Prue Leith - I spent the whole day with her before it became clear who she was. It was on a Railway Walk to Chastleton House. At the pub where we stopped for lunch the landlord told her that "no one eats salads, so I do not serve them".

Bruce Forsyth

the drummer from Dexy's Midnight Runners

I gave a cold to Bernard Lange once.
