I just saw someone reasonably famous in the street, but I don't know who he was.
Looks familiar though.
Oldish, maybe 60, silver grey hair shoulder length, quite short, gruff voice, quite flamboyant, quite smiley.
Like Peter Stringfellow only not.
Have definitely seen him on TV, but I can't think who he is.
Any ideas?

Not that I can see.
Although I have met Phil Oakey, and seen Prince Naseem bombing around in his flash cars.

Nope.
He's not an actor, for sure.

I've just flown back to London from Edinburgh and was sat next to Simon Hughes, the Lib Dem leadership hopeful.

Er...do I win £5?

He doesn't look like Rip Taylor at all.
