I supervise a Photographic Minilab at a Boots in Bristol, yesterday a customer rang up wanting to comment on how excellent the services we provide were etc etc. He also commented on how a member of the team was very attractive and extremely helpful (obviously he fancies her...). Now the funny thing was, he introduced himself as "Sir Christopher OBE, CBE". We are now stumped as to what customer this is, as we only take second names so we can identify orders and we'd like to know who he is / what he looks like. I've done a brief google search but I can't find anyone; mainly because I don't have the patience.
If anyone can find a "Sir Christopher OBE, CBE" who happens to live in Bristol then post details and I will +rep you.
Thanks.

Do you know he lives in bristol for sure?
Boots is also a chemist sort of, this dude is a professor or something so I'm not sure if that's linked to anything ;)

He says he only uses the Boots that I work in for his photos and he has been doing that for a year. The number he rang from was also a Bristol number so one can assume that he does live in Bristol and if he doesn't then he spends a considerable amount of his time here.

It is a chemist yes, but I don't think his reason for visiting is in regard to his work. But thanks :).
Sir Christopher Hoy - OBE...
Well if he's a sir he has been knighted by the Queen, then that means he's probably a old dirty bugger! :P

Heres a list of people with OBE - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Officers_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empi re (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoryfficers_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empire )
Thats an old list. There welse loads of new ones this year.

That's weird, I guess you'll just have to wait for him to make an appearance if he doesn't ring again, just look out for a short hunched pentioner with a little bit of white hair. ;)
