Have you ever been rude to a celebrity?Whilst at school we had a field trip to the Ironbridge Gorge museum. Oddly enough kids TV presenter Johnny Ball happened to pick the same day to make a visit. We were rather excited and crowded round asking questions. Johnny took this rather well and held an impromptu lecture. This was all fun and games until a kid at the back threw a small rock at his head. Silence fell for a moment then Mr Ball blew a gasket and did the whole "no one is leaving until I get a confession" routine. Er.. typing this out makes me feel rather sorry for the chap. Anyway - can you beat that?

Charlie Dimmock.There was a grand re-opening ceremony of a garden centre here in Shrewsbury a couple of years back (Dobbies in Meole Brace for anyone who knows the area).
One of my Dad's mates from the pub leases out bouncy castles for events such as this, and I had the cracking job of minding the bouncy castle over the weekend. £150 for two days work, and all it involved was making sure no kids got on with shoes. Marvellous.
Anyway, halfway through the first day, Charlie Dimmock came over and started chatting on the behalf of the media. Photographers flashing everywhere etc. She asked me what my name was, so I dutifully replied with "Gaz. And you are?".
The look on her face was priceless. Absolutely priceless. To her credit, she didn't storm off, but she didn't look happy!
