Blimey! I spent a few weeks shepherding Village People around Europe,
so I may have been on that plane too - was it in the early 1980s?

Yes, this was somewhere between mid-81 (I think) and mid-83. I think VP
had flown in from the US (possibly elsewhere in Europe) -- not on plane
I was on from Heathrow to Brussels.

Keith! ;-)

Just wondering how many famous people we see on our trains and
stations...

At various stations in the South East, I have seen the following
people:
Barry Cryer, Ray Dorset (from Mungo Jerry), Corbin Bernsen, Amanda
Pays, Hugh Dennis, Zoë Wanamaker, Paul Ross, Michael Sheard (Mr
Bronson in Grange Hill), and a few others I can't recall just now.

Today I saw the actor Richard Dixon on Waterloo concourse at about
16.15 hrs.

I imagine we all see a few from time to time. So far, I haven't seen
any on trains.

Saw 2 of the actors who play footballers from Sky One's Dream Team (don't
know their names but they played Carl Fletcher and Stevie Shaw) on a
district line train. They got on at Bromley by bow where it's filmed and got
off at Mile End. They spent the whole journey walking back and forth to make
sure everyone spotted them!!!

I was once on a Northern Line train with Hilda Braid, who's currently
in Eastenders. I followed her across the concourse at Waterloo where
she go on a Richmond line train. Years ago a friend and I saw Rolf
Harris getting on a train at Paddington.

Honeysuckle Weekes, on the Victoria line. I had no idea who she was
at the time, but my mater Dave who was down from Hull was barely able
to contain himself!

Mackenzie Crook, on the Northern line. Not as ugly as he appears in
'The Office'.

I trust that, in the former case, you immediately sprayed the text
'Kilroy was here' on a nearby wall? :-)

Alan Wicker, WB Picc. @ Knightsbridge. This was several years ago, when he
was *very* much a celeb, these days, I probably wouldn't recognize him if he
fell on me...
