We've got Dr Graeme (or Graham) Chapman - Monty Python

Just up the road in Grantham is the birthplace of Maggy Thatcher and Sir Isaac Newton

In my very villiage lives Anne Davies, BBC East Midlands News Reporter

I once installed a burglar alarmin a large house next door to a certain Robbie Savage when he played for Leicester City

 

On a lighter note, my Dad used to be a prison officer and spent time working at Leicester Prison when it was a proper cat B long term jail - he told me stories of locking up the Yorkshire Ripper and the Black Panther at night. When he was working at Winson Green nick in 79 when I was about a week old, he made friends with Pat *something-can't-remember* - the one in the donkey jacket from Auf Weidesein Pet - who held me as a baby - my real claim to fame.

 

Oh, then there is ME....famous for being in the local paper regarding unfair bank charges!
