See Harry Rednapp now and then in and around Lilliput and saw Graham Souness on Wednesday in Canford Cliffs getting in his Range Rover, look like he had just come out of HSBC Premier.

Been out a couple of times with Duncan James, he grew up with a guy i used to work with...the women were swarming like flies

No. No one famous.

I live in Lymm, Cheshire and see people I recognise off the TV and from the football all the time but don't know any of them.

I don't know anyone famous, but insure a few.

Shane Lynch from Boyzone lives just down the road from me, and gave me a nod once when i drove past him.

Friend of the family quite a while back was a coach for a 1st division football team (in the days before the premiership).

Also spoke to a former leader of the lib-dems a few times on the phone, when he called up for tech support for his laptop.

Nick Knowles is a neighbour, his house looks a tip!

I know a few 'sports' people through work, Missus worked at the BBC for years, so met a few through her, including a couple of minor TV presenters.

My Dad was very good friends with some top cricketers in their day (used to come around our house) Have met a few of todays top cricketers too.

Riz Khan from CNN/Al Jazeera is my Brothers best friend.

So, personally, I don't really 'know' anyone famous.

Sounds like you're from Ilson or thereabouts. And if it's the same chap from The Bill that liked a beer or 7 then that may have been Ben Roberts who played Chief Inspector Conway

Last visited my former home town about 2 years ago. It was almost as if the epicentre of the GFC was right there. What a depressing place. Some of the town's only redeeming features, its pubs (including my old local), boarded up

Mother used to help Mark Lawrenson run his pub in Faringdon - means nothing to me as I don't know anything about football. Also know some jockeys but can't remember there names - used to give them lifts home after a heavy sesh - had to change the lager from Carlsberg to Fosters because they were little and couldn't drink the Carlsberg without getting wrecked.

Parents used to own a pub that was the local for Toleman F1 - later Benetton and then Renault. Dad stayed in touch with Rory Byrne after he went to Ferrari.

Oh, and last bank holiday Monday my daughter more or less blanked a minor celeb - we live close to Manor Park - the one Anna Ryder Richardson bought and my daughter managed to hurt herself (fancied a bit of attention etc) and ARR came over asked if she was OK to which my daugter just blanked her - we step in to be nice and trying to be nice she says "would you like my dog to kiss it better?" not knowing my daughter has a bit of a fear of dogs this naturally went down like a lead balloon and we felt awkward, she was obviously feeling awkward so a round of nervous laughs and she moved on.

My boss was in the RAF with Christian Bales dad....
