My mum had to leave school earlier than she would have wished to work part time in a local shop. One of the regular customers was a young Roger Moore.

She also once saw David Baker's bare backside at a race. She still talks about it actually. A lot.

He's LARGE, but I can take him....



He trains with my missus' nephew - whilst on the phone to her nephew, 'Atlas' came on the phone - my missus nearly fainted (he looks a bit like me when we first met ... apparently)
