    In my old job I got to meet lots of celebrities and 2 of the nicest were Linda Lusardi(ex page 3 model) beautiful and down to earth . John Francome was also a lovely guy. Nice little story, we visited one of my shops which was next to a fish & chip shop, this was in Birmingham. At lunch he took all the staff and myself next door and got us all fish & chips. Whilst eating them John got recognised by the owner and they got chatting. John, honest as ever, daid to the owner he was trying out his fish & chips to see if they better than his own shops. At the time he had a business in fish and chips shops. Great conversation between all on what makes the best fish & chips. Least like were John McCririck who had more arms than a octopus and Barry McGuigan who was just so dour and unapproachable.

    Used to meet Kirsty Gallagher regularly a few years ago when I worked at Sky, nice girl, always smiled and said hi to me and held the door open for me a few times.

    It's great for gigs and pubs and ****, and it's easier to find a job here than somewhere smaller... but it's a bit soulless and cold a lot of time. I ain't gonna live here forever anyway, and I'll move back up north at some point.
