Did you go to school with anybody famous

[rich p]

I was at school with Steve Ovett and raced him a couple of times - he beat me! He was a top bloke. He played on the wing at footie - very fast but forgot the ball often!

My Dad went to school with Douglas Adams.

My husband went to school with Dame Kelly Holmes.

No-one famous went to school with me.

Alfred Lord Tennyson and John Smith both went to my school... bit before my time though!

Howard Goodall the composer was in my class. His father was the Head, we called him Stosh.

Does that mean you went to Lord Bill's in Thame? Pretty sure he's an old boy.


I went to school with Sir Philip Hampton, chairman of Sainsbury's and RBS

I went to School with Leo Bancroft, of the "Tresemme" and "The Saloon" fame. Great guy, stunning sister.

Also, Danny Bulman, used to play for Wycombe Wanders and played in the FA cup game against Liverpool years ago.

I beleve Richard Archer, lead singer of Hard-Fi was a few years above.

I dont think the maturer crowd here will reckognise those names... hehe!
