Default Bumped into Raymond Blanc today...
...he was waiting for his baggage next to me at the carousel!

Luckily I had Jason Plato's meeting famous people coaching from Pistonheads! Without it I would have been lost!











PS Do you know he's French

Look, try as you might, but Mr Blanc won't be posting on this forum, and even if he did, this thread will just descend into loads of brown nosing celeb baiting, with loads of words like "legend!", "respect!","nice one", "love your work","you're the best","I love you","LOL" etc etc all because he's slightly famous.

I know most of you are joking, but to be clear, he is French.

Raymond Blanc OBE (born 19 November 1949) is a French chef, born in Besançon, France.

Has buying a 5 series drained you of your last vestiges of humour as you enter your fully paid up middle aged man?

And, factually, yes

I have never had the chance to fish for carp, I'd really like to get a 40 pounder giving me a bit of hassle!
