Brush with fame…
Ah. When I were at skool I had a weekend job delivering Bread and our round took us all out around Blandford & Surrounding Villages.
One of our customers was Harry H Corbetts’ Son (Matthew was it?) and I used used to deliver his Wonderloaf and Fresh Cream Eclairs or whatever it was.
Things actually went very sour when, one Saturday morning, I plucked up the courage to ask to see Basil Brush.
Ah the joys of the years before the internet.
Strangely I never delivered bread there again
(History doesn’t recall clearly but I think he Swept me out the door and then Sued my Boss or something like that)

I think you mean Sooty and Sweep, not Big Bad Basil Brush.
Actually that reminds me, i know the son of the fella who was Basil Brush (creator, voice, hand-up-the-arse etc) - he lives out Twyford way - although, granted, it’s a tenuous link to the name dropping challenge.

I once got told one of my attempts at humour was funny by a bloke called Rallyboy on the PTS thread over on the Dark Side.

Yeah, that was the point I didn’t MEAN Sooty & Sweep I simply thought Harry H was Basil …
Oh whatever…

Speed reading has failed me again. It’s the triple monitor bollocks i’ve now got at work. Sorry for that.

A link to the Orgreave thread .
I was at a miner’s benefit gig at Sussex Uni and shook hands with Arthur Scargill, or was it Ken Livingstone? I forget, as I was very very drunk.
I think Amazulu were one of the bands. They were “right on” (read that as " shite ").

Fareham - what an utter shithole. Not a patch on the Park Gate and Titchfield sprawl.
