Anyone live near anyone famous? I so happen to live near Robert Lindsay (from the show My Family) and Cilla Black.
It was also exciting to hear that Robert Lindsay is now a regular customer at my friend's hair salon where I get my hair cut too!

    The famous author Fern Micheals lives in the same town as me. My mom used to work at the salon she went to and had her sign one of her books.

    Live near Nicholas Lyndhurst here! Met him a few times at various places but he's rather anti-social and doesn't like being disturbed.

    Living in the Charlotte, NC area pretty much everyone involved in NASCAR and Micheal Jordon just bought a condo less the a mile from my work. Kathy Rietch (the author the Bones tv show is based on) teaches at UNC Charlotte. I am sure there are more just can't think of them off hand.


    Back when I lived in Minneapolis I met Prince, and Daunte Culpepper.

    Well, I live in (South-West) London, sooooo.... yes, but I don't know who 99% are! The Wikipedia entry of my suburb has an entire section on famous residents. What tickles me most is that apparently Tim Berners-Lee is a neighbour.

    Where I lived before, sometimes you could see Bill Bailey take his sone to school or activities and always looking supremely grumpy and forbidding.

    Johnny Depp was filming latest 'Pirates......' film in Knole Park when we were jogging there recently....didn't see him tho' :sad:

    Peter Sissons & Gloria Hunniford (saw her in Tesco once) both live in Sevenoaks, and Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz) lives about 5 miles away & is regularly in the local paper.
