A brush with fame

Chris (my upstairs neighbour and bandmate) had an interesting encounter this morning.

He got in his car and started off down the road. He drives ‘round the corner and he’s about to pull out onto the street parallel to ours. A black car cuts him off, though, and starts pulling up to the kerb further down the road.

Now Chris can pull out onto the street but there are two people standing in the road where the black car pulled up. So Chris has to slow down and kind of drive around them. As he’s going past, he looks at the face of one the people standing on the road.

It’s Sir Paul McCartney.

It’s not everyday you see one quarter of The Beatles. In fact, I would say that beats Jessica’s Fatboy Slim sighting hands down.
