Oh i should tell my meeting Peter story too right? Haha sorry for forgetting you Peter! Well, I’d looked out of our hotel room window about 8.30am and seen him going across the road from his car to the Albion Rooms, then later we saw him outside chatting to people, and eventually we headed down to hang outside there as well, a perfect time filler before the festival! He kept coming and going, talking to people and getting distracted, but he was on great form and very funny, intentionally and otherwise, lol. I thought it was very welcoming of him to turn to me and say hello before i even approached him, and i was able to give him my silly gift of two of old Sheffield United v QPR football match programmes (that i found in the same charity shop as Carl’s record, haha). He did exactly what i hoped he would, and looked at one of the players’ lists and started recalling them, even telling us a little anecdote about one of them (called Karl something lol) who was a very snappy dresser, haha. He asked me if i remembered the players, but I told him i didn’t know anything about football, i just wanted to give him a nostalgic moment, haha. Just like Carl he was very gracious and happy to talk to people and ask them questions, there’s never a lack of conversation with these boys!
