Yes they did, Chrissa, and Maggie was so well briefed. Mate of mine was MD of Penguin and got savaged at a Speaker's reception which she was attending, questions on why they were buying Swiss paper and not English. The other Prime Ministers for me inc Zhu Rhongji of China and Wim Kok of the Neths, when he was representing the EU out in the PRC, Kok was a very impressive man indeed. On a lighter note and a delight, I had dinner with Greg Norman out there - with 22 others but sat on his table.

Durham was it, jack?
Worst I have met was the Right Reverend Ian Paisley and I couldn't escape unless I downgraded to Business Class, a BA flight back from Nairobi....loud and very opinionated.
Then there was a question of seeing the Savile entering the Queen's Deep Throadt (Moat) Hotel in Glasgow with the Lord Provost of the city. Talk about a show-off and a boor.
Patrick Troughton was pretty miserable - and so was Robin Williams, that meeting all the way up at the top of Scotland in a fishing lodge, the Lochinver hotel.

My lottery entries got me nothing. No win. No lucky dip. very disappointing.
However, next Saturday looms!
My life was and still is kind of interesting, but nothing I want to reveal to all and sundry. I worked in a heady world for an out of school (convent) girl of 17 was a new life. I danced on Top of the Pops most weeks, kicked off in a celebrity football match in Windsor Great Park, was runner up Miss Office World in the Evening News, turned down Astronaut - see earlier post, loads of other stuff. I changed my ways completely when I read a quote from the founder of the BBC, Lord Reith, who wrote - I realised too late that life was for living.
That reminds me of another story. I had to phone Lord Reith at home (as part of my job at BBC). His wife answered. She said to him its for you. He said Who is it. She said The BBC. He kept saying Who.
I was itching to say to her, tell him he invented it!

Have been on a few quiz shows, William G. Stewart is very nice, and also attended the audition (don't have the host attending most auditions), Gordon Burns very kindly explained to me what the pilot was going on about before I did the flight simulator bit (really struggled to understand the pilot), and Bruno Brooks was despised by all those who worked with him.
