There was Hugh Grant at the station ticket booth chatting with railway staff on the same day that I was trying to make arrangements for a trip to London with DTJ and KJ.

I knew that Hugh Grant had met CM on a couple of occasions and was much a fan of his comedy as we were. This gave me an excuse to speak to the movie star.

When he shook my hand, Hugh Grant gave the impression that he was aware of my identity. Whether or not this was just an act, I did not care.
