Where was it filmed Moses?
The Henleaze area of Bristol. You can still see the pub that stood in as the Kebab and Calculator, although I think the railings where Viv's hamster got squashed are now gone.

I went in the cafe at Temple Meads station and Sandi Toksvig was in there buying a cup of tea. And this being Bristol, pretty much everyone over the age of 30 has some kind of connection with Massive Attack, shook the maracas on Unfinished Sympathy, bought 3D's GT Xixang off him, etc.

True story here.
For years my brothers and I believed that the celebrated botanist/biologist David Bellamy was our uncle. He looks amazingly similar to our old man; rotund, grey-haired and big beard so it wasn't to hard for our old man to convince us as 8 year olds. The only thing we were concerned about is why we hadn't had an awesome christmas/birthday present from this famous relative.
This cruel trick on our youthful gullability was to backfire when my brothers cub pack were all awarded their conservation badge for some do-gooding activity and it was presented by a VIP, David Bellamy. When he gets to my brothers they say "hi uncle david, my dad tells us you're his brother". He replied "no I'm not" and walked off. When my old man turns up at cubs to pick them up my brothers drag him over to David Bellamy and try and get him to "remember" our dad/his brother.
Needless to say our old man couldn't get away quick enough and hasn't tried to convince us of famous relatives since.

I made the front page of the P&J and Scottish Daily Mail on the same day, was also apparently mentioned on BBC breakfast TV (was a very slow news day)
Was forcibly ejected from the castle of May highland games (where I was on the entrance) for trying to charge Charlie boy an entrance fee - he was overseeing the track and field events, though I think saying his horse could get in for free was the main reason his polis officers took umbrage at me! Maybe that was part of the reason for my now ex-wife leaving.......
Oh and seriously embarrassed my step daughter in front of Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull fame) when he presented her with a prize at an Inverness music festival.
