jane spotted the lady that plays Nora Batty<\/a> in Last of the Summer Wine walking by when we were in Bournemouth. She, and her male companion stopped near where we were walking to look at the view.
\ni approached and asked nicely if i could take a photo and the bloke’s first answer was “well, how much are you going to pay me”. i was taken a back and said “er nothing, sorry” so he said “who do you want to take a photo of” and i said “i don’t mind, both of you together perhaps” and he said “well, what are you going to do with it” and i said “put it on my website” and before i could explain any more he said “well, in that case, absolutely not”.
\nhe wasn’t very friendly really, but i suppose they must get hassled lots when they are out and about. i had my big camera so i probably looked like a paparatzeeee. i’ve no idea if he was famous in his own right. he looked a bit like paul daniels (but he wasn’t).
\nso instead, here’s a picture of a person we saw by the beach made of sticks, pebbles and a plastic cup.
