who of note was a contemporary of yours at school or university?

I went to college with this man

Stan Collymore went to my primary school I think about 6 or 7 years before me.

In my job at Sheppy's Cider, I met Prince Charles and Sophie Duchess of thingy (??? how bad that I don't know, but she is married to Prince Edward). Charles is charming, lovely... Sophie is a misery.

JK Rowling went to my uni long before I did. My dad said he used to share the train with her before the books.

And Floella Benjamin, of playschool fame (she was the one that used to sing lots and dance around - not the puppet!) was chancellor of my uni for the last year. I used to watch her on tv as a kid, so imagine how starstruck I was when I had to shake her hand on graduation day!

And I was at secondary school with the son of a famous labour MP (he's still a labour MP but we left school in 2002) called Kim Howells.

Me neither unless you count Micheal Crawford's daughter (used to get best parts in all the school plays) and some comedy actor bloke who is sometimes in the Bill and Casualty and a very dodgy sit com few years back.

oh hang on i have found a pic of him

Kate Bush had just left my school as I started. We had to put our names on a slip at the front of our text books and I had her Maths book.

Yes, I know...v tenuous
