Cue, Phillip…I don’t do that….
OMG what a job prospect! Following Andi around, .Thank you. That answers my question. At least he was presenting a product rather than just following Andi around.
Me too I get the feeling that gin has just gone down the route of alcohol pops for the fat lasses … sorry young ladies with today’s sweeter tooth. My 22yr old son is the same -tho a strapping gym bunny !-….loves the ciders with the crazy sweet fruit flavours.Yesterday was the first time I had ever seen him, except for photos of the queue issue and ads for cars. (I'm out of the loop.) Apart from being negatively biased due to the queue hopping, I found his sales pitch with the two others quite good. Gentle, and not at all pushy. However, I didn't like the idea of the spiced gin and the price for the two bottles was exorbitant. The gin advent calendar was over priced imo. Unadulterated gin is what I prefer, not gin that's been mucked around with.
Roland rat used to call him Alan Ditch waterMy oldest son and DIL were on his morning programme several years ago. My son didn`t take to Schofield at all but said Holly was lovely. One of the other guests was Alan Tichmarsh who ignored everybody and acted like a complete arse until he was in front of the camera and then he morphed as if by magic into Mr Congeniality. All an act.
In my final year at school my friend and I would bunk off at lunchtime to go to the Cavern, we would change out of our uniforms on the bus to Liverpool, and Cilla used to be there at the coat desk and was miserable and snotty even then. She was signed up with the Mersey sound and her life changed, her rise to fame always documented in the Liverpool Echo. Her mum had a stall in the indoor market and was really nice. Some say she could have done more for her mum at the end of her life, but I don't know if that was true. Paul McCartney and his brother Mike always stayed loyal to their roots but others from that Sixties era happily forgot.The one who is number one of being a total bitch is Cilla Black. BA cabin staff could fill hundreds of pages, it seems. I did actually for a time know someone whose cousin went on Blind Date. Got a major shock as she went by seeing Cilla on TV and cheeky lotta lotta fun. No, production staff told contestants, do not look at Miss Black, do not speak to Miss Black between filming. Miss Black will speak to you when on air, and you can answer, otherwise do not speak to her.
Holly, another one who is nice if you go to the studio but not otherwise. I know someone who worked in an Elemis salon in London for a period before coming back to Belfast. She said none of the staff wanted to do Holly's facials as she was so nasty. Yet she kept coming back to the salon for facials, when not dressed by stylists she looked like a bag lady and a heavy smoker. But it was how rude she was to people that really got her.
Heard she used to say “ why have you sent that gal (girl) I didn’t want a gal “ ( for interview) lolIn another life when I was an estate agent, I made a right prat of myself when this young chap walked up to my desk, and I said .........."oh its Ian Beale ", he grinned and I offered him a seat while I grovelled profusely at how unprofessional I was ! Adam (Woodyatt) was absolutely lovely, as we settled down to 'do' business.
Landing at L.A. airport with friends, I was stood by the carousel waiting for my suitcase. As I saw it I charged forward practically knocking over this very elegant lady with a fur coat draped over her arm. I grabbed her arm and again I apologised then I saw who it was .......... Sophia Loren who was waiting for her chauffeur ! She was fabulous as I explained gibberishly about my suitcase, she must have thought I was an imbecile., but she wished me a good holiday.
Back in the 90's I applied for a job as a Social Secretary to a local author. I was then told it was Barbara Cartland ! I could write a book about the interview. But those who remember her, know that she was always photographed with her little white dog. Well, this little dog laid at my feet while I was being interviewed, and it was hard to keep a straight face when it was snoring from one end and farting from the other !!! I was offered the job, so I went off and bought a few new clothes (as being the step grandmother of Diana, it was likely I could meet royalty). Long story short, the woman apparently offered the job to all her applicants, so I didn't get to work for her.
Heard a lot about cilla and BA staff not happy at all .. mind you .. BA I had issues with .. wasn’t rude to them .. just had to use First class area for loo as trolly was in way and I was desperate .. no you can’t use it … so I said .. “ what am I supposed to do then .. wet myself “ ?In my final year at school my friend and I would bunk off at lunchtime to go to the Cavern, we would change out of our uniforms on the bus to Liverpool, and Cilla used to be there at the coat desk and was miserable and snotty even then.
