I saw Jimmy Page today!

I was being a bit of a nosey bar-steward but it was still a surprise.

Well he wasn't exactly out and about.
A few years back Michael Winner was on the telly talking about something or other and he said that Jimmy page is his next door neighbour. I happened to know where Michael Winner lived as I delivered somthing to his house years ago when I worked as a Motorcycle Courier.  I had to go down this street again today so I thought I'd have a look at the houses next to MW's to see if I could work out which one is JP's.
One side of MWs is a block of private flats and the otherside is this huge house that looked like it could be the one. So I pulled up outside in my truck. As it's quite high I could see over the wall and through a window on the ground floor. A light was on and it was easy to see inside. As I was looking two men came into the room and one had White hair with a pony tail, he turned around and it was him. I was very surprised to have seen him and wasn't expecting to at all. I didn't hang around though as it's rude to stare. Nosey bleeder ain't I!  :lol:

He used to deal with Soundcontrol in Birmingham a lot when I worked there. He ALWAYS introduces himself as Dave Hill From Slade.

Which is why JP ended up writing the music for Death Wish 2  :lol: !  I'm quite surprised they both still live in the same houses after all this time.

Great story, Johnny!  :)

I once saw Adrian Belew in Wardour Street.  And Steve Harris with two of his kids in Leicester Square.

That's not a creepy story at all is it Johnny, eh?  :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

Poor Jimmy, no young girls stalking him any more... He just gets freaked out by a hulking 6 foot plus Spurs fan staring through his window from a skip lorry before gunning the engine in a panic and crawling off down the road!  :? :lol:

I saw Elvis Costello in Andy's on Denmark St. and an orange-faced Dale Winton in HMV on Oxford St.

the question is - can this thread be used as evidence in court?

I saw Noel Gallager in Primrose Hill in the '90s.
I've seen loads of famous people around London. I even saw Sue Pollard from Hi De Hi once.
