[Greg Bobkin]

No, but I've heard of Anna Swallow.

And don't forget Kate's Bush *titter*

We had Nina Nannar, arts correspondent from ITV Evening news a few years back, since then though they've all been top names. We had Orna Merchant and Martin Clunes yesterday evening, and had one of our largest ever turnouts.

I see Croydon gets ex-Eastender Ricky Groves

Has he done anything since leaving 'enders about 5 years ago?

Did an ambulance drive past when she was being named?

Apparently, she's a bit of a siren.

Yeovil get a Robert Pattinson lookalike and Lady Gaga tribute act.

That's the spirit!

Clive Dunn was due to turn the lights on in Worthing, so the council are well happy. They now don't have to bother!

Yep he turns the Christmas lights on in Croydon.

Not sure if he also helps burn the town in the summer as well.

It's already happening, across the UK Z-list "celebrities" are being asked to do the ceremonial switch on of high street Christmas lights to the adoring public. But which British town or city can lay claim to the very lamest of these public appearances?

This week Robbie Williams did the switch on for London's Oxford Street. Fair enough, I've heard of him. Whilst somebody called Taylor Swift (is that a girl or a guy?) did the lights in one of the massive Westfield shopping malls. No idea who that is but he/she probably means something to you if you're 13.

The JLS are doing lights in Bristol, John Bishop is doing Bath and Leeds have a bunch of local sports "stars"... and Neil Warnock.

Do any Sussex towns go in for this sort of thing? Will we have a celebrity switch on in Brighton, Eastbourne, Crawley or Hastings?

love her!

 

[Superphil]

love her!

What's not to love eh?

Never mind that, have you heard of Taylor's Swift?

In fairness, she is much bigger in america than Britain. Only two of her songs have ever charted in the top 23 in the UK:

From 2008

And this one that is currently getting a lot of airplay at the moment:
