Pat Martin e-mailed us with this simple but satisfying reversal of the Brush with Fame idea which has been running in recent weeks...

"I have to admit that seeing George Harrison on a bus is a pretty impressive claim to fame. 'Claims to Fame' is a game that we play regularly but one of the rules is that the further down the chain you are from the famous person the more points you get, e.g. my husband got more points for his friend having stood next to Bert Weedon's cousin in a bus queue than he did for having watched the Coronation on Wilfred Pickles' mother's television. I got more points for knowing a woman who knew the woman who made Lady Elgar's corsets than I did for getting a lift home one Saturday night in the back of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders' van. Get the drift. Hours of harmless fun can be had in this way."
