Just saw the big man.
« on: August 09, 2013, 05:45:35 PM »
Im currently camping in the New Forest and thought I would go to the Eastend Arms for lunch.  So in we go and sat by the bar having lunch was a famous musician from the 80's having lunch. My jaw hit the floor and my legs went to jelly. I didnt speak to him but he did speak to my daughter who at 3 has no idea who he is. I did get a couple of covert pics as he got into his gorgeous classic porsche.

How cool is that bro! :thumbsup

Great! But your daughter was a perfect cover for taking pics with him. A pity you didn't do it. With kids he's always nice

The Hotel is "The Master Builder's House Hotel" located near Beaulieu but seem that the company that runned it and that John was involved in has ceased now.

I stayed there in  2002 for the MK  & Friends gig.
