Claims to fame

The only semi famous person I've worked for is Marlon Harewood (ex Forest, Villa, West Ham, Newcastle).

Im friends (ISH) of Marlon & Alison!

Best famous customer was OBE himself (Sir Brian Clough)

Here is brief story

I was serving a lady back 20 yrs ago, we got chatting when i noticed on her cc her name was Clough, me being a cocky LS i said "any relation" to which Mrs Clough said yes, his wife!

Loaded her boot full of tiles, only to glance in the drivers mirror and there he was, #Starstruck i managed an hello.....to which he replied something like "thank you young man!"

Went to the same school as Gary Numan (ask Doug who he is) and Alan Knill (footballer / Welsh international / now unsuccesful manager of various footy clubs). Not at same time as the singer, but...

Also chatted to 'Arry Redknapp down the beach whilst we were both walking our dogs. He had just taken over at Super Spurs...but he was wearing a bloody West Ham coat. Really nice guy - ended a phone call to chat to me.

Ok, I once walked past Jason Robinson whilst walking through Chester one lunch time. He was in a hurry and talking on his mobile phone. But seriously, he's the only famous person I've ever seen that close up that I can remember.

I've met a few 'celebs' over the years. Recent ones to date are driving past Linda Robson in Loughton few days ago, pricing jermain defoes mothers four bathrooms and getting goldsteins job (levy of spurs partner). Used to have access to nufc players lounge on a regular basis. Met shearer, John major and and walked into gemma from Towie with a kebab wrap in hand whilst she got papped outside mojoes in South Woodford Christmas past. Few others but can't remember.

people i have tiled for over the years.
roman abramovich( chelsea) x 2 / daniel levy ( tottenham )
edward heath ( prime minister . second job i ever did and sacked half way through for laying his tiles upside down!!! )
eric clapton ,robert smith ( the cure) , kate bush ,nick lowe !

des oconnor ( likes a super brew and early starter !)
lord puttenham (film director)
numerous other mps and general all round known owners of massive multi nationalsbut not intesresting to mention.
out of all of these i suppose the ted heath one was the most stressfull. it was only because i had not a clue what i was doing really but neither did anyone else. the tiles were 3ft x 3ft x 1 inch
i was up the whole night when dave and i realised that we had laid them upside down and we had to get them up quick.

I am sorry but i should have added that about twenty something plus years ago, Brian Tuitt ex drummer for Bad Manners had some time to fill in and worked for me for a while
we have mutual friends and am pleased that he has got back in to what he loves.

Just remembered, one of my ex-school mates went on to play professional cricket for Northamptonshire (Dave Ripley),. When he was at school he had the choice of joining Leeds United as pro or cricket for *********. What a choice, he did excel at sport though.

My wife has met many famous people in the hotel where she works. To name a few, Tina Turner, U2, Westlife, Beckham and rest of England team, Real Madrid team, Glenn Hoddle, David Jason, Jason Donovan.......Oh how the rich live...:lol:
