Famous Parents in your Childs School

[Naughtynoonoo]

Following on from the thread about the Daily Mails article on School Fairs / Fetes......

Do you have any famous parents in your Childs School and do you try to blag decent raffle prizes out of them.

At my dd's school we have a Charlton Ath. Footballer - wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

At the school ds used to attend we had ummmm, thingy-what's-his-name, you know, vaguely famous actor, played Patrick in Coupling. I don't know whether he gave decent raffle prizes, but he did loads of presenting and MCing at fuctions - anything that used a mic, basically!

I went to school with loads of diplomats kids, the neice of jeremy paxman and the son of the bbc correspondant for brussels. Oh and Duncan Bannatynes kids. Nobody uber famous though.

No one at DD's school but Nigel Kennedy's son is at my god-daughters school

John Hegley (ds' school) which I found v impressive and used to stare at him in the playground :-S

Bolton footballer's son at nursery.

the posh school round the corner has tons of them, shall i go and hang around their gates tomorrow with a sign saying: raffle off your famous parents to 'elp the poor mister?

Linda Robson is a mum at dd's school.
Joe Swash (plays Mickey Millar in Eastenders) is an uncle and came and judged a fancy dress competition with Martin Fowler.
Also a comedian who's name completely escapes me I'm afraid.

Coronation Street star at dd's school. I know who he is but I don't know who he plays in Corrie as I haven't seen it for at least 10 years.

Certain parts of North London are stuffed to the gills with famous people (usually soap stars I think)

Oh and Dido and Martin Offiah are both ex pupils.

Posey you must be in Islington then!

I think you might be right waterfalls as I remember you (at least I think it was you?!)mentioning on MN about Josie Jump being in your towns pantomime at Xmas.

We have another Charlton player and I have heard that John Terry and Jo Cole used to live here, should have bagged one of them and I would have become a WAG!

In DS class one of the boys has a famous actor and actress dad and mum but I don't want to name them cos it will give away what school ds goes to iyswim.

It was very weird driving in the local town and seeing the dad walking accross the road and the public give him a double take as they walked past him cos we just know them as and *

I went to school with the daughter of Jack Duckworth in Cornonation Street. Never saw him at any fairs/fetes though.

A NZ cricketer uses our Plunket rooms for his family birthday parties and always donates way too much money for it.

Ah yes, that was me
