    Chris Pea**** (Meridian) when I worked for Russell and Bromley - smelly feet.
    James Montgomery (not sure if Meridian or BBC) and his wife Fiona Richmond of soft **** fame. I was working at Sainsbury's then and they were very patronising.
    Nick Owen (TV AM) and Dominic Littlewood (chases bad guy builders on tv).

    Haven't met him yet, but my niece's father-in-law is Jeremy Bulloch, AKA Boba Fett from StarWars.

    Magic Johnson and Johnny Cash are impressive but definitely A-list; we're talking B-list celebrities here.

    I forgot Dominic Littlewood..
    I met him and Melinda Messenger whilst having breakfast in a hotel.
    She was cute, and tiny, quite a turn on watching her eat a croissant, but I am easily pleased.
    When I say meet I asked them what they were up to and he said having breakfast, little bald priick.

    Back in the 80's I work at the then Holiday Inn in North Harbour which at the time was the only decent Hotel in the area so had numerous sports and pop and acting stars staying.Also worked in the Bar at the Mountbatten Center and then Meon Valley Golf Club. Nighties I drove Taxis in Fareham, and from 2001 have delivered parcels.
    Not trying to show off but have had the pleasure (most of the time) to meet numerous A,B,C Listers. Some that stand out Sir Michael Horden (super drinker) Steve Davis, Millie Jackson, Frank Ifield, Hale and Pace, Bobby Davro and his page 3 girlfriend at the time, Lawrie McMenemy, Alan Ball, Mark Chamberlain, Roger Black and Chris Akabusi. That was while working in catering. While working on the Taxis I quite regularly picked up a couple of Saints players and their wifes from the Jolly Farmer at Warsash and took them home out by the Asda at Chandlers Ford, also once picked up Chris Sutton from the Solent Hotel and took him to Windsor to join up with the England

    George Bush Senior whilst running at a local park a few years back

    At first I didn't notice who it was, then turned around and there was George. I said Good morning George, to which he replied Good morning USA Saint

    Also I had a 15 min conversation with Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys at a bar in Austin, many moons ago. All I can say he was very diplomatic and pleasant,and obviously used to talking to drunks
