Ken Barlow (TWICE)!
My Mum's local is a tiny tucked away pub in Notting Hill (and she spends a lot of time in there!) Over the years in that pub I have met Nigel Havers, Daniel Day-Lewis and Daniel Craig (the new James Bond).
I also met Richard Briers at a drama competition (he was judging), and I was at Uni for 2 terms with Stephen Merchant.
I sold some cakes to 'Lovejoy' too (what's his real name?)
Just noticed they are all men. Maybe I don't notice women!

Ken Barlow (TWICE)!
Would the Queen say ones self ??
Seen quite a few famous people, but the only one I've said hello to was Marco Pierre White, the chef.
I was at a birthday party in Kensington years ago.
He came in with a birthday cake, chatted for a bit, then zoomed off.
There were about 10 birthday cakes altogether and his was voted the winner by the birthday girl.
I can still taste that cake.
Almost as good as ESG's lemon cake.
What year was that? I might have handled that very cake!! I'm from Kensington and I used to work with his wife in their cake shop (Maison Blanc) on Holland Park Avenue! That's where I sold the cakes to 'Lovejoy'!
We were allowed to take home all the cakes which couldn't be sold the next day. They were gorgeous!!

Did you put on a lot of weight?
It would have been November 1989 (18 years ago)
The actual cake had "Smokey" iced on as the birthday girl was a chain smoker.
Ring any bells? What years were you working at Maison Blanc?
Actually, I think Marco was at Harveys at the time in Shoreditch.
Not far out! I was there in 1992. And yes, I did put on weight! We had these fitted pink and white stripey dresses we had to wear, and mine got tighter and tighter! Luckily I didn't stay too long or I would have got enormous.
Nah, sorry - it was my boyfriend at the time who was friends with him because they were on the same Film course. I was doing Art History with the less cool people!
I had to do a visit to "Le Manoir aux Quatre Saisons" for work last year (sadly the T & S budget didn't allow me to eat there!). As I went to open the door to reception, it flew open and who should be holding the handle on the other side than Raymond Blanc.
