I had to do Bertie Bassett
My mum begged me for a week when I was about 14 or 15 to stand outside her newsagents with a bertie bassett suit on and a rattling tin for the local hospice. I had the head welded all day to save an eternity of embarrasement.

I did Frankenstein's monster
and knocked over Ant (or was it Dec i can never remember) best part was it was on live TV.
So that night down the pub i was a mini celebrity and got loads of free booze.
