Have you had a close encounter?

No, not with an alien but with a celeb or star of the small or big screen.

Over twenty years ago my eldest daughter was looking for her first car and I saw a Mini Metro advertised in the local paper. I phoned the owner and arranged a test drive at their house. Imagine my surprise when who should appear at the door but the actor Ken Morley who played Reg Holdsworth in Coronation Street. It was even more strange to have him drive me around town on a test drive. It was also difficult to talk to him just about the car without asking him about his role on tv, to which he replied “my philosophy is to just go for it and live life to the full”. A nice man but the car was pants.

Have you met any famous people?
