how random.

I spoke to Jennifer Ellison and Phil Olivier (ex Brookside) once at a local paper car thing in Lancaster (my friends Dad supplied the car that they were taken to the event in, to cut the ribbon) They are both only about 5ft tall

At work, I once spoke to Alan Hansen, but I didn't know who he was at the time, and then have served Samia Smith (Corrie) with lingerie on a till at work (I got a bit star struck and very embarrased!), and also Anne Kirkbride (Deirdre in Corrie) who made a big song and dance about buying a pack of £5 hankies!

I think that they are the only famous people that I have spoken too....

I have also met a few bands, but met them as a collective. I have also met a few music producers who are quite famous in the music business, but I wouldn't know them from anyone else. Apparently one guy I spent a whole day getting drunk with produces albums for Coldplay and is regularly written about. He was a nice guy!

I'm not sure which minor sleb it was. But a friend of mine had an altercation with a D-list soap sleb in the shop where he worked.

It ended with:

D-lister - Do you know who I am?

Friend - No.

D-lister looked appalled and then swept out.
