That's it. Searched the Internet, no luck.

Google tells me he’s a member of Pratt’s. Could you write to him there?

gindreams · 02/05/2024 21:45

But why ? I am agog with curiosity

SheilaFentiman · 02/05/2024 21:51

He likes cricket. Try hanging round at Lord’s or the Oval.

I think he'd talk to me because he's a nice man (despite being a Tory)

He is a relatively nice man, for a Tory, but he won't be directly contactable because among the random strangers who want to talk to him will include various nutcase stalkers who either want to kill him or have his babies and neither he nor we have any evidence that you aren't one of these. So you make contact with one of the 3rd party organisations and convince them that you have a bona fide reason and aren't a nutcase. They will have contact details for a PA or personal secretary who will ask him whether he wants to agree to contact. But it is more likely that one or other of these gatekeeping steps will decide you can't be trusted.

John Major. I probably would have, back in the day.

I've met him. He was disarmingly attractive which I didn't expect. I don't know where he is now though, sorry.

Me too back in 1997. I was also struck with how attractive he was. I may want that phone number when it's found! 😜

Have you tried singing 'ground control to Major, John' really loudly?

Brilliant 👏👏👏

For us young uns...Cones hotline?

determinedtomakethiswork · 02/05/2024 22:20

I'm dying to know what you want to talk to him about!

Kittybelle123 · 02/05/2024 22:27

I am enjoying this immensely, so many wonderful replies, @Hiddendoor and @SpringLamby - just brilliant!

Disturbed to hear the cones hotline is no longer working 😰

KikiShaLeeBopDeBopBop · 02/05/2024 22:18

For us young uns...Cones hotline?

Major got incensed (well, mildly cross) about never ending roadworks and set up a hotline which could be called if you saw coned off bits of road without anyone working on them.

longdistanceclaraclara · 02/05/2024 22:39

I don't think bringing Edwina in is fair at this point.

JanglyBeads · 02/05/2024 22:42

This is wonderful.

Norma used to bell ring at my home parish church so maybe I could contact someone there for you OP?

I saw him last year speaking at a history festival. He was surrounded by men in black suits and his entourage arrived and left in two black range rovers. I doubt they’d let a random person approach him to “have a chat”.😂

Yeah, you’re right, the other suggestions on the thread are more realistic. Go with the Major John song :-D

pinkdelight · 02/05/2024 22:54

I met him through a work thing a while back (am not in politics and not a Tory) and like others here I found him very nice and he sent me a copy of his book after (which was relevant to our conversation, not unwanted). I'd say that if he's well and up to it, then OP would probably be right in her assumption that he'd respond kindly to polite correspondence.

Mynaddmawr · 02/05/2024 22:54

I've always found he responds quite quickly to a short sharp blow on a conch shell, HTH

This is the best thread 😂😂

It really is! Lots of witty MNers here, loving the replies.

Does it need to be the real him or would a puppet do? You can get him and Norma for under 4k 👍

I've always liked him, hands off interlopers! He was the special guest at an autism charity lunch I attended, I think he's got a grandson with ASD. Everyone was asking him boring politics/charity related questions. I came out with a cracker about cricket and stole the show. He seemed mighty pleased to be asked a question that he was actually interested in

I know his address as Norma bought a book from me a while ago. I'm not sharing it though.

powershowerforanhour · 02/05/2024 23:30

Why does OP want to know? I think that, like some other posters, she met him once years ago, thought he was surprisingly attractive, and suddenly got a hankering all these years later to find him again as she is overwhelmingly curious to know if he is still hot or not.

That sounds so un-John Major. Obviously I knew he’d have security but for some reason I pictured some smartly dressed polite men in a Volvo.
