Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Dull celebrity anecdotes
I saw Peter Phillips, out of Princess Anne's womb, resignedly pushing a shopping trolley around Waitrose in Cirencester with a look of intense boredom on his face while his American wife and their toddler chose breakfast cereal. I was with my girlfriend and was also listlessly pushing a trolley around while she shopped.
He caught my gaze, and we exchanged "women, eh?" glances and small shrugs as we passed one another.
I also once sat next to Jim Broadbent while he leafed through a copy of Metro while listening to what sounded like Motown classics on small black earbud headphones, while he was waiting for a connecting Tube train at Acton Town station.
What mundane or routine activities have you seen people off the telly doing?

I once saw
Daley Thompson drop a box of eggs in Waitrose on Chiswick High St. I didn't wait to see whether he'd sneak them back onto the shelf though.

I once walked past Clive Anderson in Islington.
I nodded to him and he nodded back.
