Famous faces!

While I was in London a few days ago (jumping around in time all over the place has obviously become a hallmark of this blog), I had to get from the tube at Piccadilly Circus to Haymarket to head to the school reunion. Looking on the map, one might think that that was a very simple process... However, I managed to walk in completely the opposite direction required until, becoming increasingly sure that I was going the wrong way, a kindly copper put me right.

What is the point of me telling you this story you might ask? Well, if I hadn't gone the wrong way, I would never have looked up and seen this:


And of course, as any good tele watcher would know, that immediately signals one thing: Gok Wan! And even though the chances were slim that he would actually be there in person, there he was!


It was really funny, he had security people to try and push us unwashed and deeply unfashionable masses away and the poor woman he was doing his magic on looked quite vacant like she couldn't actually believe she was there! People were everywhere, spilling onto the streets trying to take pictures and angling to be the next people of whom he asked their opinion. I thought it was quite classic that he was talking to two 'passers by' who just happened to be both carrying Harrods bags - obviously their opinions were worth something!


So, first (real) celebrity sighting: check.
