My brother once got given a table at a posh London restaurant because they thought he was a famous actor. He has a lot of self-confidence and an air about him. A waitress asked him whether he was famous during the main course. Luckily they didn't throw him out.

Oh, and my great grandmother did actually know Lloyd George.

Not really the same thing, but my mum went to college with Richard Beckinsale and he wrote her a poem, which she still had somewhere handwritten by him...

"The cat crept in the crypt,
Crapped and crept out again..."

🤣😜😳

My granny's auntie's second husband's uncle was J M Barrie - actually Mr Second Husband was himself famous at the time, an international chess player.

(bit of a scandal, they didn't get married for years because her first husband was still alive, and her son got into an altercation with him which reached the papers)

My OH is best friends with a footballer who plays for Chelsea

Fairly closely related to an ex-prime minister. He’s an insufferable arsehole.

Boris by any chance?

That doesn’t really narrow it down Johnson, Blair, Hague, major etc

I'm gonna go with GB. I've met him, and he fits the description as provided by @Lbnc2021.

About 15/16 years ago I was proposed to by a relative of Donald Trump. Trump's mother and my suitor's mother were cousins. I'm not sure if that makes them second cousins?

Anyway, it was when Trump was merely a 'Billionaire' and not a power-crazed, Tango'd, freak show of a POTUS.

Dodged that bullet. 😂

FiL is very well known in his field. Not household name famous, but globally known in something that was very specialist when he was working, but has grown massively since he retired. I work on the peripheries of the same field, but under my maiden name. Please are always astonished when I mention that he is my FiL. Then ask if DH also works in the field.

Manchestermummax2 · 23/03/2023 22:42

Famous for all the wrong reasons. My 1st boyfriend was a serial killer. Yes, I was in a 'relationship' with him when the crime was committed.
No, I didn't have any idea, I was just 16 when it happened & almost 18 when convicted.
Took me 15 + years of various unhealthy coping mechanisms & therapy to be where I am today.
