As a follow up to this, do you get star struck ?

I absolutely do, and am amazed to see even the most C-list Eastenders actress picking up crisps and beer at the local Sainsbury's, whereas Mrs Jumpers will see Obama and Lady Gaga walking together and be completely oblivious and nonplussed.

Nope, just people at the end of the day. Reckon I’ve seen many more, spoken to a few on the phone, just another person.

Mentioned those as for some reason stuck in my mind, the first 2 probably cause it was the same flight.
