Sir Bernard Chumley lives.

For those of you who know Sir Bernard Chumley all is good, for those of you who don’t he is a fictional comedy character on the series Little Britain, an aging gay ex theatre actor living in a block of flats.  We met the real life Sir Bernard while on tour in Mulhouse, France.  He is working at a hotel we stayed at. When we checked in he proceeded to speak in exaggerated English straight out of a nineteenth century English Royal court drama. He told us this was his cockney accent. Ahem.

Me and Maeva checked in first and told him Vincent would be arriving soon after. Vincent checked in and we giggled from the sidelines as he was washed in grandiose theatrical English by Sir Bernard. We went and ate and returned to the hotel.

Meself  and Maeva are gorging breakfast the next morning (gorging free food is part of touring, you don’t knwo when you’ll eat again). Vincent arrives looking kind of pale. It seems Sir Bernard has taken a shine to young Vincent and his boyish Grecian looks and decides to spend all night calling his room trying to get him to come down for a few drinks so that they may become better acquainted and have a ravishingly good time. Vincent actually barricaded his door with a chair. Me and Maeva were devastated we had been left out int he cold. What was wrong with us? Well Mavea has girl parts and i’m more of a 70’s San Fran biker bear type apparently.
