It's funny, a few years ago we went on a stag do in London & bumped into Chris Evans. We (all 29 of us)
had a right good old laugh with the guy for hours. He was not in any way like you would expect. Very
funny, not a knob & very, very polite.

Have to agree with you. If you had to guess you would have though he would
be a pillock.

Now he really is someone you would expect to be a knob. Funny how folk can
come across differently on TV. Emma tells me that Jeremy Clarkson is a nice
bloke, unless you start on about him being JC, if you see what I mean.
Apparently he gets sick of celeb spotters who have nothing of value to say.
She has just chipped in to say Caroline quentin, phillipa forrester, john
nettles, richard ashcroft are all very nice (custeomer of hers).

Yeah, and they had a fair chunk of the show dedicated to the 101, for
a change.

Customers are always nicer when they pay their bills

Celebs often start (in our experience) either by not mentioning who
they are and being meek and nice, or, occasionally start with "I am
such and such" rather, I expect, seeking a discount or freebie. The
former we like lots, the latter... Well, maybe one day I'll put the
telephone calls on 't web... ;-)

The worst are 'career politicians' - not those who, like Tony Benn see
themselves as the mere representatives of 'us', but the ****ers who
firmly believe they are above everyone else. Had a very (very) nasty
run in with "a man with a dog" a couple of years ago... :-(

Would love have Caroline Quentin as a customer, though...

Apparently she is really nice and has a beautiful house and home. I think
emma said that she even made them a cup of tea when they went round. Mind,
you could imagine her being a friendly person...

Well, it's Buster's owner or it's Blind Pew. With the Sheffield connection,
my money's on Pew.

Oh, he's in trouble again. Ho ho.

The Golf cart is a nice touch...

Of course, I'd forgotten Mr. Brightside. I didn't think it could be Buster's
man, I always thought of him as eminently reasonable. Whereas t'other fella,
well. Despite his disability he has managed to find his own arse and crawl
right up it. It's sad. I used to live in Sheffield and (back in the 80s when
he was just a councillor), he was very well thought of round our way.

That's before he turned to the dark side of the farce and got into bed
with (amongst others) big businesses... Still, at least one can now
say that he's done the honorable thing for twice in his life...
