On a Thames boating holiday we moored for lunch and the narrow boat next to ours was called "The Winchester".

The voice was unmistakable - Dave the barman from Minder - (Glyn Edwards).

I apologise in advance for this outrageous case of name-dropping but I'm working with a chap called Geoffrey Moore. His old man, Roger, is an actor apparently...

Me too, but I'll go this far.....
I used to work with the mother of Michelle Fawdon, who played Mary Magdalene in the original Australian stage show of Jesus Christ superstar in 1972. (So she was a bit famous for a while. )

A certain well known TV comedy star of the 70s used to lodge with my mother when in this neck of the woods. Sadly he is now deceased.
