I heard that the keyboard player from popular pop combo Toploader moved to Compstall a while back, can anyone verify this?

Do occasionally see Craig Cash in Marple, my son wanted to ask for his autograph but I said no, we should leave him in peace to do his shopping!! Must say it does brighten the day when we see him though.

Don't be negative, Barbara, it makes conversation.
Goodness me, we need something pleasant to write about.

Maybe some of these people would like to live here in peace and not be constantly gawped at by 'star spotters'?
