00:00Have you ever seen anyone famous in Sheffield?
00:02Yes, I've seen Ollie Sykes in Sainsbury's.
00:06I think it was on Archie Road.
00:08Yeah, I was very, very excited to say hello, though, unfortunately.
00:13Yeah, I've seen Pete McKee.
00:15Where did you see Pete?
00:16We saw him on Ecke Road when he had his gallery there, so we saw him there.
00:20I bought one of his portraits and one of his pictures.
00:23Yeah, well, we've seen Pete McKee in person at a lecture he gave, like an A to Z of his life, at Hallam University.
00:36And we found it really riveting and thoroughly enjoyed it.
00:39So we've seen exhibitions, a couple of exhibitions of his.
00:44Well, it's funny you should say that, but I saw Nagamanchetti, the broadcaster.
00:48She was in Sheffield this week.
00:49She was doing her Radio 5 show, and she was broadcasting live, but she got on the 83 bus, then she came through town, and then she went out to Chapel Town.
01:00I saw her when she was here in the centre of town, and she was talking about health inequalities, and women's health particularly, which are two topics that she feels very passionately about.
01:09And going into communities in Sheffield to see what that looks like on the ground.
01:13So I think she popped into Fir Vale, and then she went out to Ecclesfield in Chapel Town, having started out her journey up at, I think it was Hallamshire Golf Course.
01:25Probably there's a hairdresser that I know, called Lee Stafford.
01:30If you like going to Boots, you can buy all his products, all his hair products.
01:34I quite like them, actually.
01:36I bought straight those ones.
01:37Yeah, I once saw Richard Hallway outside the Rising Sun pub up at Fulwood.
01:47It was a beer festival, he was outside with his wife, and we were getting in a taxi over the road, and I'd had a couple of beers, and my friend didn't want me to go and say hello, but I went to say hello anyway.
01:58I don't know how pleased he was by it, but I was like buzzing all day kind of thing, but yeah, that's kind of probably the most famous person, almost, Sheffield person I've seen in Sheffield or something, so yeah.
