Never Meet Your HeroesThey're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

not exactly heroesIn used to work for Boots and also Marks and Spenser in the West End. Served or saw many celebs.
When at M and S I did a year or two on the returns desk. Being a busy store, people would buy stuff, try it on at home, then bring them back. No problem. I have held in my hands one of Gloria Hunifords " bodies ", you know the type of thing with poppers in the gusset.
Joanna Lumley also handed me her unwanted bra. To my shock, cos I just had to check, she is only an A cup. Very disapointed. The Dept was also based on the lingerie floor...heaven !
Oh, and whilst working for Boots, I found myself sat on a till for the lunch hour. Mindlessly bored by this, I kept my spirits up by oggling chests of the female customers...as you do on sunny days in the West End. While humming and ah-ing on the relative mertits of one particular set of norks, I looked up and noticed they belonged to legal superwoman Helena Kennedy...and she caught me ! Such an icy look...which I well deserved !
