I lived in the same village for many years as the famous author Philip Ogley's future wife, which I tend not to mention as one doesn't like to brag too much. But since you ask.

My dad did live a few doors down from the Beatles' original drummer Pete Best, before the Bests moved to the fancy house (his mum Mona won big on the gee-gees) where she founded the Casbah Club, where the Beatles first played.

And obviously I stayed there at my Grandma's when I was a kid, so maybe a time difference of a mere 30 years.

But that would only really work if it was Ringo Starr, not Pete Best, who no one's heard of.
