    Lifestyles of the rich and the famous

    Well, it's all over the newspapers...
    Turns out Billie Piper, ex wife of Chris Evans, ex 'Rose' from Dr. Who, ex Singer... has moved into my little village, HOPEFULLY bringing some nice cars with her....

    Anyone famous around you?

    I also have Lord Cowdray
    Earl of March
    and some others but I can't remember them...

    Well if you count Sydney Devine as famous then yes...

    Here is a little extract I found about him on a Website -

    Um, Roger Clemens lives about 100 yards from me, George H.W. Bush about a mile or so, Craig Biggio lives pretty close I think, and then in my city there are some huge stars, but no idea where they live.
    He came dancing across the water
    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls

    Rosemary Conley the fitness woman used to live in my village. She's moved to the one next door now. It became fairly common to see her Bentley passing through. You weren't likely to miss it - the reg. plate was ROS13, or something to that effect.
    Paula Radcliffe lives nearby, too. Not exactly sure where, though. I saw her out training a few months ago.

    Oh and although probably not particularly rich, the parents of Madeleine McCann live in the other village next door. I'd imagine most people know who they are by now.

    Can't think of any others just now. I'm reasonably sure there were another couple though...

    Are you serious?! Do you ever see them? Say hello to GWB from me. It's like the Simpson's episode come to life!

    Dave Thomas who founded Wendy's grew up in my town. There are also lots of movie shot here so there are famous people all the time. I got to hug Misha Barton and my friend's mom somehow ended up having lunch with Robin Williams

    She said so in TG. She likes classic cars apparently.
