I remember catalogues, too. <br />As for claims to fame, when I was working in Covent Garden in my late 20s, I was stopped in the street and asked if I'd like to go to an audition for a commercial. I asked what it was for and was told - Always. Oh, the glamour! I didn't go....Streetcomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029151833679911644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-90578203590391431962014-09-02T16:07:15.674+01:002014-09-02T16:07:15.674+01:00still waiting for my fifteen minutes of fame!!!! l...still waiting for my fifteen minutes of fame!!!! lovely story and what a shame you don't have it on video/dvd - your children would love to see it i'm sure!! enjoy the heatwave..........xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073640672705007362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-67434976289461805952014-09-01T16:31:07.019+01:002014-09-01T16:31:07.019+01:00How very funny!

I have never been famous but my mother in law was on telly every year without fail at the Harrods New Year Sale - she never queued, just turned up and elbowed her way in and always got on the news coverage but never hung around to wave - we would always watch the news expecting to see her and were never disapointed! she would hammer past the camera to buy the christmas puddings to put away for next year! that's all she ever bought - a money saving northerner she didn't have any interest in the other stuff just her puddings!<br />BettyElderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-54609071783608073692014-09-01T04:26:56.469+01:002014-09-01T04:26:56.469+01:00What fun, Claire!
