Re: claim to fame?
Why is having met a famous person regarded as a claim to fame?

I've met many but don't consider my life any the worse or better for it.

I suppose if I do have a claim to fame it is having designed the Hyndburn Coat of Arms & logo that Hyndburn never used! I was interviewed by the press and photographed and everything.

Was mates with Mark Owen, out of Take That, and 'dropped into conversation' at every opportunity that I had his phone number and been to his house, to every random stranger

No real claim to fame, but seen as we on about people we met

I have met Janice Battersby (Vicky Entwistle) when I was working at the Regency (who hasn't right)
Also met Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) at dinnertime there once while I was helping the chef out. Now he was really nice
