From Squirrelchaser - who else?
My brush with fame was in the mid-1980s. My first wife and I were with friends. We were walking, together, down St.Martin's Court, in the heart of theatreland when, towards us came such a well known figure. Floppy fedora, renowned classical look - it was...Sir John Gielgud! The wife of my friend, and I, went weak at the knees. We did! We nearly fainted at being close to such fame - it was unbelievable. We gurgled and giggled and were just beside ourselves. My wife and my friend were just..contemptuous of our performance. Sir John went into "The Salisbury" and we begged our spouses to agree to us all going in....but they wouldn't; the miserable sods!!
