My Grandad on my Mums side is a cousin I think to Alcock (could be brown but its one of them) of Alcock and Brown fame who made the first non stop tran atlantic flight.

My other grandad told me that were related to Graham Gooch and my Nans surname was Gooch so this is quite possible but I dont know if that is really true.

My wifes, Dads brother was security advisor to Saddam Hussain in Iraq in the 80's. He fled to America in 1990.

World famous author Dad of DtS claims to be my father,but I am holding out hope I am the milkmans.

Very tenuous, my aunt's eldest stepdaughter, Rachel, is the partner of Pete Townshend. My other half can do a bit better, his 2nd cousins are the wife of Joel, lead singer of the Rifles and her brother (also obviously his cousin) is Johnnie Jackson, captain of Charlton. I believe there are more links from their times living in Covent Garden.

[Benfleet A1]

My first wifes sisters husband was 2nd cousin to Rula Lenska who attended their wedding with her then husband Dennis Waterman. She was the life and soul of the party, he was a ******. My half brother funded the inventor who invented the Creepy Crawly that cleaned the scum of the side of swimming pools, he made a fortune out of it.

Not me but Southend Elvis who used to post on here is related to Lee Stafford the hairdresser to the stars. My claim to fame was that I broke his nose many years ago before he started his career in hairdressing but was well on his way to being a full time twot.

 

[canveyshrimper]

IIRC there was a story about his wedding in the Echo a few years back, he married a very blonde and toothsome California girl. At school he formed a band called The Cents. Good bloke and a short arse like me.
