    Customers, when buying tiles

    Famous named customers.

    A couple of years ago I tiled Roger Moore's kitchen. It was not the famous Roger '007' Moore! Today I am just off to do a quote for Kenneth Williams -ohh stop messing about! As you have already guessed, it's not the famous Carry on character. Anyone else had famous named customers?
