I saw Nick Faldo in the Bella Pais (sp?) bar, near Sutton Coldfield in 1988

Re: Which celebs live near you

are nt there going to be celeb hot spots ?
I would think that the Thames valley...
areas like Henley , Maidenhead, ie areas to the
west of London. Does nt Micheal Caine live somewhere up there
in a Thameside house... Paul Daniels too.

Or SW of London... eg Weybridge in Surrey
where John Lennon and Ringo ended up in the 60s

But yes Brighton seems a hotspot with Zoe Ball living there ... even Paul Mac for a time... and Patsy Palmer is still living there
Dora Bryan ran a hotel in Brighton at one time and they filmed part of
a Carry on movie in her hotel
Lawrence Olivier lived there for a while..
But Brighton was originally made fashionable by the Prince Regent
in the late 18th cent. He eventually reigned as King George 4th.
Brighton is popular because its on the coast, yet its within commuting distance of London.... lets face it... London is still where all the action is.

Exactly why I hate it so much Apart from the sights/museums, I hate stepping off the train at King's Cross. I think its the sheer frenetic pace, massed crowds, and the 'coldness' of the place....blimey I sound like Crocodile Dundee on arriving in the USA; saying hi & catch you later to all he saw!

Re: Which celebs live near you

LOL! There was a wicked whisper a few months back that Gary Glitter was renting a house here. I asked a local rozzer and he said it was the first he'd heard... hope he's not - I'd hate to have to polish my Blunderbuss...


Oh Paul O'Grady lives here too... it's turning into Brighton...

The Osbornes house in england is supposedly in my old town (chalfont st peter, Bucks).
and sting (or paul mccartney, cant remember which) got married in the church there.

Goldie Hawn has a summer cottage about 2hrs away from me right now if that counts.

Re: Which celebs live near you

and if you know who Sarah Polley is, I worked with her brother, he is a lawyer and rides a motorcycle and is totally hot!!!

Re: Which celebs live near you

Deep in the Surrey commuter belt, around Weybridge/ Woking, we have/ have had:
Eric Sykes (Weybridge)
Michael Aspel (Walton)
The Jam (Woking)
3/4 of the Beatles (Macca preferred Islington apparently, and why not)
Sham 69 (Hersham)
Cliff Richard (Weybridge, until he buggered off to Portugal, not for tax reasons, obviously, but to produce dodgy plonk)
Many "stars" of the despicable Chelsea (their training ground in Cobham is a stone's throw away, and I wouldn't mind throwing that stone)
Chris Tarrant (Esher)
that's about it off the top of my head, but sometimes you can't walk 100 yards without bumping into a C lister.

My Cousin lived in Hammersmith for a few years (though Barons Court was the nearist Tube, & we passed Fulham Broadway station when going to the local Wetherspoons), & spotted a few minor celebs in pubs when there.
