At the Frankfurt Book Fair, I once walked along most of an aisle next to the German Federal President at the time (Richard von Weizsäcker). I did wonder a little why everybody was getting out of the way, but I didn't notice him until my mate caught up with me and told me after I'd turned a corner. My only defence is that he was quite short.
Apparently, I also stood next to Ray Davies in the bar at the Flask a few months ago. He was with a larger party and I didn't spot him among them. As idols go, that's probably a rough equivalent of Andy's Eddy Merckx moment for me. /csb
