The thread in which PHers reveal tenuous links to famous people.

I have chatted to the Prince of Wales in the County Mall Crawley.

I have had dinner with Dale Winton and Cilla Black (technically they were just in the same resteraunt in Barbados as me)

Christain Slater brought a car of my husband and "borrowed" my ipod lead which i never got back.

I have discussed Jersey Royal potaotes with Ronnie Corbett in Sainsbury, Crawley.

Every day I catch the bus past the building that served as John Surtees's motorcycle shop in the 1970s.

I bought a car off a bloke who's company was based in the old Surtees F1 workshop until a few months ago. Nice chap, and seem to remember he is on here, but more of a lurker than poster.

Ed Sheeran is my 2nd cousin.

I met and chatted to Matthew Holness (Garth Marenghi, and of course, son of Bob) in St Albans HMV.

Until I moved a year ago, Dom Joly lived on the same street as me

[Pablo Escobar]

I've been to Martin Brundle's house. He's a bloody nice guy too.

I met Tim Brooke-Taylor as he exited a toilet in a Boeing 747 - I was on the way to see the flight deck (back in the innocent days of 1980 when you still were allowed in to those places mid-flight).

He was having a pint in my pub last year.

I am slightly related to Shakin' Stevens.

I'm pretty sure Cliff Richard tried to come on to me on a beach in Florida.

Where's the uncertainty? Was it that it might not in fact have been Cliff Richard - or that he might not in fact have been trying to come on to you?

My mother worked for Paul Di Resta's grandfather, and I tended bar in one of his hotels and one of his bars for a while.

I used the urinal next to the one being availed of by the Headmaster of Eton.

To be honest I certain. I was on a beach in Miami and he came up to me and started talking about our hotel. It turns out we were staying in the same hotel. He then told me he was staying in some suite (I can't remember the name) and invited me for drinks that evening. He then told me that if I was coming I should wear the shorts that I was wearing and not get changed. That seemed a little odd so I declined.

I sat next to the Red Baron's cousin at a dinner party. He was in the Royal Navy and once had to machine-gun his own family member's plane.

I also chatted-up Bruce Forsyth's missus.

I saw Gordon Ramsey in Wandsworth cinema with his wife and kids. The wife looked miserable.
