it depends on the circumstances obviously, but when you can see someone just going about their normal daily business why should they be stopped every 5 minutes by people expecting them to talk to them as if they know them?
I saw a very popular soapstar at Christmas with his son, it didnt even occur to me to go running up to him asking for him to sign a bit of paper, he was out with his child with things to do, i find it both intrusive and rude on the fans behalf. Im sure many will disagree with me but thats my feelings on it. Sure enough if they are just hanging around passing the time of day and enjoy talking to strangers no problem, but when you can visibly see they are rushing about and have things to do then no i dont think their been rude.”

Good point.
Not quite the same thing but what about BBC premises similiar to the Mailbox in Birmingham, where there is a 'Public Space'.
I saw Ed Doolan from BBC WM, on the one occasion I was there having a bag of crisps & Diet Coke, but I didn't bother him for an autograph.
If he had looked in my direction, I would've said something, but until then.....
