There was this fat shouty man...
..when I worked at Homebase, waaay back when it was Sainsbury's Homebase, and (rumour hath it) Mrs Sainsbury herself had designed the green and white check shirt with fawn tie concealed behind bright green dungarees with orange stitchwork.

...Anyway, mr Shouty had a broken hosepipe, and he wanted a certain connection, perhaps the correct interface with his outdoor tap? I don't recall. We didn't sell his brand of hose accessory, and the more he waved it at me, the more I sadly related this fact. For some reason, this made him almost irrationally angry, shouty and hostile, culminating with the words "Don't you know who I am...?"

...It was TV's Mr Roger Cook. Luckily as I drove home that night, he made no attempt to film me through my car window, and my doorstep remains unambushed. (though I do live some 5000 miles away now.)

This also reminds me of the *terribly* smelly man who appeared at my till one morning, and although not a word was exchanged, from an olfactory point of view, this chap was well acquainted with Dis, so I guess he counts here. Although mid morning, he was wearing a vest which bore witness to a breakfast of eggs and ketchup, striations of which Pollocked the front. This was offset with what I can only term "Tramp's aftershave" - strong BO with stale alcohol. A small amount of goods was paid, unusually for the time, with a credit card. A GOLD one. This is back when this meant something, now, of course, everyone has one made of Caesium, even though they explode when it rains. So I look at the name on the card....

...It was TV's Rumpole of the Bailey, Leo McKern.

I also served TV's Mr Leslie Crowther, and noted beat combo frontman Mr Peter Gabriel, but they were both lovely.

The proper answer
to the infamous "do you know who I am" question is:

"Yes, but do you know who I am?"

"No"

"Good!" *rude hand gesture*
