slightly off tack but thinking of this always makes me laugh.. i thought it was time to share it outside a close bunch of old friends.
noel edmunds moved to 'OUR' village when I was about 9, this is back in his radio1 swap shop days, he was a nice bloke and when i used to finish my paper round i would join up with my friend matt and we would finish his round together, this was about 6 houses including the manor which N E lived in, as i said he was a very nice chap and would always be chatty and sometimes give us toast and tea,
just down the road was our old hang out'the stream', an old bridge leading to the church, the manor and the waltons (not fiction) farm,
on saturdays after swap shop finished me and my friends used to congregate at 'the stream' and climb the mighty oak that stood next to the bridge an impressive tree still standing today, N used to drive a six wheeled rangerover with a large open roof, you could time his arrival and we would all be waiting, you know whats coming,,yep we did it all the time, golden showers all round, he never twigged it was us !, it wasn't just reserved for celebrity though, it was open to all, the waltons the vicar etc,
i will probrally burn in hell for the vicar and the waltons, but should i recieve a medal for the forsight we showed ????
