There were rumours about Gordon Brown bullying staff at Number 10. I can well believe that. His wife seems so lovely though?
A consultant pulled him up on his behaviour and was severely reprimanded a few weeks later by the hospital board, when Blair's daughter was admitted her mother was the nastiest relative I had the misfortune to deal with. |

I think he looked like a horrible man! They have put up a statue of him in Glasgow and I despair every time I walk past it.

A mate of ours knew one of the security men years ago that checked on parking permits near offices. Jennifer Ellison parked in a place and the security man told her she could not park there. She said to him that there was no where else to park, he apologised but said she had to move. She then said. "do you know who I am", so he promptly got on his walky talky and said "Jimmy, can you phone an ambulance, I have a lady here who does not know who she is", she then drove off, lol.

He made a visit to a hospital I was working at in 1997, was very abusive towards a member of his own staff, swearing at her because there was no lunch laid on after his tour.

Severely reprimand the consultant who told off Brown & GB gets off scot free. As for Cherie Blair, she's always behaved like royalty ain't she? |

He always came across as abrupt, dour and lacking in humour, this doesn't surprise me, same as a certain ex prime minister from Scotland whose two faced behavour in front of an old lady showed his real colours.

Typical hospital board.

I see there's an upcoming TV special honouring Cilla Black. Considering the posts and links in this thread to stories about her, it'll be amusing to see all the D-listers sucking up to her!

Harriet Harman is extremely patronising and uncomfortable around the hoi polloi.

Gordon Brown is a nasty piece of work behind the scenes. A VERY shady character as well, totally unsuitable to be Prime Minister. .
Both my father and my daughter have had dealings with Rowan Williams at very different stages in his career, and they both agree that he really was (and presumably is) a very, very nice man. |

Nice: Micheal Caine, very down to earth and took time to chat to everyone.
Not nice: Kaye Burley - totally up her own arse. |

Many years ago I worked with her (in a menial role) and must admit she was not exactly warm and friendly to the juniors.
My sister works at the Treasury and says the opposite: that he was invariably friendly and rather charming to the staff, often turning up with his little boys and chatting to everyone. I know that he has a reputation for being stressed out and moody, but I thought people should know of that side of him as well. Both my father and my daughter have had dealings with Rowan Williams at very different stages in his career, and they both agree that he really was (and presumably is) a very, very nice man. |

I agree with this, Harr. The fact that they mention this in their autobiography and think it's a bit of a 'laff' shows how immature they still are, not to mention disrespectful. Don't worry- the boot could very easily be on the other foot. It's not like it's never happened to them at an inappropriate time, 'cause I'd bet my last 20p it has.

Bit off topic I know - but as she's a regular feature of this thread - can I ask if anyone will be buying the new Cilla album?

Tom Hanks is so nice though - he wouldn't want to offend anyone. He has no idea who she is either!
Tom Hanks went to a friend's restaurant a few years ago, when he was filming in the UK. She says that he was absolutely delightful. |

I once knew a security guard who had a similar encounter with Clare Balding. When she came out with the infamous "don't you know who I am" line he replied, "Yes Clare, I know who you are. And you're still not parking here!"
![]() My mate replied "Yes I do. Which means I won't have any problems identifying you in court." |
