Erm......

Justin Rose went to one of my old schools, Robert Pattinson School in Odiham, although he was 3-4 years above me.

That is all.

Ha! Insomnia strikes! Me too.....

Quite a few from my school, but I'll just go with the three who were my era. Only a little bit famous:

Martin Lewis of 'moneysavingexpert.com' and radio money programmes etc

Steve Leonard, tv vet and wildlife presenter

Gabriel Range, filmmaker.
