It's celeb city around here, you see some about most days if you walk around Ealing Broadway. I have no real interest in them though, they're just people, like you and me.
My daughter knows loads, she ran a catering company that served filming locations and studios.

Within 10 miles of where I currently am? Nobody.... Just the way I like it. If you mean they are from around here and moved, then the Costes family. link
Quite well known in Paris, apparently. |

Not many famous Frenchmen when you think about it. De Gaulle and Michel Platini I suppose. After that I'm struggling.

We don't hate individual French people but we do hate France as an idea or concept.
You know what they call us? The Isle Of Pigs.
It's a badge of honour. |

It's a badge of honour. 12 years in France, and the worst I have been called is a "Rossbif" due to our tendance to turn red quickly in the sun. |

I always thought that one was down to our Sunday Dinners and the fact the French couldn’t understand why we cremated our meat, That’s what I was taught at school, though, so it could be bollocks like most of what they taught. |

Napoleon was Corsican, not French. Ah but Corsica was a French territory by the time he was born. Of course I knew all that and never once looked at Wikipedia after reading your post  |

I've considered moving to France in the past. Doubt it'll happen though. Think I'd prefer Portugal or the Azores.
