Someone at the local told me that Ross Kemp of Eastenders, Ultimate Force and Gangs fame, lives down the road.

Naturally I tried to find corroboration for this story on teh interwebs, so I Googled "Ross Kemp" and the name of the town I live in.

It appears that someone else had the same idea, for seven months ago someone posted to Yahoo Answers with the query "is it true that Ross Kemp has a house in Woodstock?".

And of the two replies, this was selected as the best answer:

"That would be top secret info giving his affiliation with different gangs. However property is not too expensive there so why not. Then on the other hand why would he as there is nothing to do or see there now except some OAP Hippies making jewellery."

Hmmm.

One is a former royal manor and lovely market town in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, home to Blenheim Palace and the sort of place where an actor/TV personality might decide to have a country bolt-hole away from, yet still close to, London.

The other is a small town (and thriving arts centre) in New York state some 40-odd miles from a farm where a music festival that epitomised the flower power movement took place in 1969.

I think I can see where the confusion crept in here ;o)

(And that's leaving aside the property value issue - we're renting before anyone assumes we won the Lottery).
