We're practising for a 25 mile sponsored bike ride and been out a few times. About 7 miles from where we live the route goes past Roman Abromavichs' house in West Sussex. I didnt know he lived there until someone pointed it out.

Who's the most famous person near you?

Hmmm,well, I think it would have to be anyone Welsh......like Cerys Matthews, Rhod Gilbert,Tom Jones,etc.
The comedian Rhod Gilbert would have to be mine......as he used to live just up the road from where we live.

half a mile one way, Vicky Michelle and a host of footballers in the same street, about a mile away Sir Alan Sugar, who also happens too work half a mile the other way, up the road a couple of miles Rod Stewart, and a mile in another way that guy who used to to be the porn king and sunday sport owner.

Rosemary Conley lives about five miles down the road. Does that count? Oh, and Vikki Clayton (ex Fairport Convention) lives just across town and is a friend of ours.
