He won a competition a few years ago to be the voice of the council pay line. He was on local tele and radio. That's the nearest I have got to a claim to fame but Paul did manage to find the answer on google when I used it in 2 truths and a lie! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

We were in The Winston Churchill Room, (the Lord Mayors show was going by at the time) and after the tea we had champagne and chocolates. Then our host took us round The Savoy for a looksee - the posh bedrooms, kitchen area etc. And all free because we knew our host. It was well good. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
