I don't think iain Duncan Smith was ever PM...Leader of the Conservatives, yes, but never PM

Ah yes! My mistake. Leader of the opposition. I just checked it. Then it has to be Johnson cos he is an insufferable ars*** to the whole country, never mind being related to him

I don't know who IBS is meant to be but we only had 3 PMs in the 1990s. Thatcher, Major and Blair, @keffie12 .
If you mean IDS, he was Leader of the Conservative Party in the early noughties.

Yes, I meant IDS. I always change it to IBS as a deliberate Freudian slip. Yup, my mistake. He wasn't P.M. It has to be Johnson surely then

We love Fred, live not far from his old house and was gutted when it closed to the public a few years ago as we’d never got round to going 😢

Related to a very famous sportsperson always in the news, a famous singer/actor and an older famous band. I also have a 4th cousin in a famous series never met any of them though. I did know a serial killer at 16 who used to come to my place of work very polite, great tipper and someone I would have trusted. He was waiting outside one time when I finished my shift and asked me if I wanted a lift thankfully a family member was picking me up. He was in his fifties at the time lots of crime programs about him.

One of my DH's cousins was in a 90's boy band. They had a couple of hits here but were massive in Europe. These days he does a normal job and is married with a child so has an absolutely avergae life. He still gets recognised walking down the street in places like Paris and Berlin though.

DH's aunt used to run the fan club and was once sent hundreds of pairs of socks by a company as a promotional thing. They were distributed amongst the male members of the family. This is the only tangible benefit DH has seen from his "famous" relative.

I have only met him a couple of times but he seems alright.

Worlds Apart? I used to know Nathan.

Toastofnotlondon · 25/03/2023 09:27

My Aunt is related to the Redgrave family

My Grandad's brother Len was a footballer who played with a couple of teams during his career in the 30's/40's/50's. Don't think he was majorly famous like footballers are today though.

TeaserandtheFirecat · 25/03/2023 12:04

@VoluptuaSneezelips Your Len may be on a football card, very popular and collectible back in the day!
