Someone at work was saying today that Gordon Brown has a flat right opposite our office. As in totally opposite my desk (except that I'm three desks from the window). I was well impressed, because I am such a celebrity name-dropper and political geek that it sounds cool (to me) to be able to say that my desk is right opposite Gordon Brown's flat. My informant mentioned this because there had been a suspiciously Prime Ministerial-looking Jag parked outside earlier, accompanied by a Range Rover containing three burly looking geezers.
And being such a celebrity name-dropper, naturally I had to respond "That's the second most famous person to have a flat opposite my desk because in a previous job Madonna lived right opposite my desk."
The street where Gordon has his flat was easily confirmed by a internet search.
