Fair play!!!
So, what’s your claim to fame?

Ah c'mon, it was a beautiful venue, with sprung dancefloor & a veranda upstairs that went all the way round.

My cockney girlfriend used to see them often in Lillie Road Fulham and said they were very nice to her but she was a dumb blond.
I was not, but I know them (not well, mind…!)

In some parts of Africa "Kalash" is a boys name!How interesting but imagine calling your son after a rifle? Blaser for instance? Sorry couldn’t resist!

I once met Joanna Lumley, (maybe 10 years ago now), along a very remote single track road North of the border. I was on my way to a doggi........ er, I mean stalking venue. I reversed some way to allow her to pass. It was only when she drew alongside and drew down the window to say "Thank-you" did I realise who she was. I learned later she either had, or friends had a holiday home nearby !

I only have had 'local' fame. I once saved the life of a child who was choking in the street, when no one knew what to do.

I also came up with an idea to build a War Memorial, researched the men from the Great War and coordinated everything. Possibly one of the last War Memorials to be built for the Great War.

But nothing that gives real fame.
Crediton goalie Jordon took part in £10,000 charity match | creditoncourier.co.uk
IT was a very special day for former Crediton Youth Football Club goalkeeper Jordon Jones, when he was one of the four lucky winners to be a Super Sub for the Manchester United Legends team in the charity game against a Hinkley Point C Select side.

New war memorial dedication a fine achievement for Copplestone | creditoncourier.co.uk
THE village of Copplestone now has a fine and fitting war memorial, which was appropriately dedicated on Sunday, November 11.
But nothing that gives real fame.

A workmates girlfriend was a long haul British Caledonian stewardess in economy class, she told us this tale.
There was a bolshi person of colour in first class with a baby. He harassed the male steward during the whole flight to Jamaica "hey man do this - hey man do that" just before landing he called "hey man" and handed the baby to the steward "change it" he went to economy and returned with a white baby. He was fired afterwards.

I had a driver in France that his colleagues used to call "Kalash". He was from former Yugoslavia and his actual name was Serge. He died earlier this year 2021. Always an absolute pleasure to work with. Would do anything for you. If he was on your driving rota you were happy even before you'd started. From all accounts he had had an "interesting" time in Yugoslavia. One of those old men of a certain height and certain stature..."stocky" you'd call it...who even though when I knew him he was old still looked a tough little man that could kill you in an instant if his mind took to the idea.
