She may have a place in Brighton but her main place is in the Richmond area. My brother did some work there.

a tosser he may be. But lets not forget he was world champion at 2 weights. Thought this thread was for rich and famous, not kind and gentle.

Per head of population that list of former and current famous residents is incredible. Outside of London I would be amazed if you could name anywhere that could compare. Nick Cave, Steve Coogan, Adele, Mark Williams Z list..? You're 'avin a laugh!
