Re: Well known

Ouch! - I have to say I have met a lot over the years, partly because such a lot of them live in London, and partly because of the job.

My daughter went out with a Beastie Boy - Adroc (Adam) for a while, then with a well-known DJ, then with Flavor Flav - they had to hide her on the tour bus because they were a Black Power group and it wouldn't do for FF to have a white, red-haired, girlfriend. Both of them were very polite and charming, very different from the stage image. Also, my daughter used to work for Prince Charles in polo, so got a nod from him and a smile from Diana (whom the polo girls loved, because she was so ordinary and nice).

Sort of met Princess Anne when she asked me to hold her horse's foot as I was walking past her at a horse do.

Met George Best in the Phene Arms a few times, later came to know his second wife, Alex, very well.

My ex used to work for Columbia Pictures, so met quite a number of people at their dos - even Rock Hudson once!

And, of course, I also know Garinda!
