Blimey, can't compete with your list of famous people sightings (though I can at least match your Nick Cave (on a street in Brighton). Mine goes: Jools Holland (Holkham beach, Norfolk); Billy Connolly (asking for directions to the folk festival, Cherry Hinton Rd, Cambridge); Mark King from Level 42 (at a cashpoint in smelly London); Stephen Fry (signing books in a back room at Waterstones, Cambridge); John Peel (in the audience of a gig - I think he left early); Stephen Hawking (in a cinema in Cambridge - but everyone in Cambridge sees Stephen Hawking at some point).
Oh, and Ian Hislop, Angela Rippon, Neil Pearson, a Kemp brother, and Anneka Rice (all at an awards do I went to a few years back - which was a bit dull).
Think your Richard Briers sighting beats all though.
Did we? I have no recollection of that AT ALL! How scary. Though I do remember being in Waterstones Piccadilly with you - which I guess makes you officially more memorable than Salman Rushdie.
Oh, and just remembered famous people on trains: Phil Pope (arriving into Cambridge), Lesley Manville (on the train to Brighton - think she got off at Haywards Heath; couldn't swear to it though), and Simon Mayo on the underground (on the day I wasn't attending the publisher's Christmas party that, the year before, I'd seen Simon Mayo at).

You were with me in Waterstones, Piccadilly when we saw Salman Rushdie so you can add that to your list...
