I went of to sulk in another part of the shop when this man (not looking where he was going) stepped backwards and trod on my feet. When he turned to see what he was standing on he managed to elbow me as well.

Well this really p*ssed off an already stroppy child and my reaction was to kick him in the shinn and run away.

My mother mortified came up to me and demanded I went and apolisgised I said no and then she said do you know who that is? I said no again at which point she said that is was no other than cliff richard.

I never got a ballon or apoligised and to this day have always been a tiny bit glad that I had kicked him (sorry any cliff richard fans it that offends you!)
