Unusual or tenuous claim to fame
One of my earliest memories and still vivid to this day. I would've been 4 or 5 and was out with my Nan who lived in Peckham. We were out possibly shopping and I can remember an old Bedford ambulance constantly driving around the local streets at a fair pace with it's bell ringing ( no sirens or blue lights in those days ). Although it left a strong memory with me, I never thought about it again. Come the late 90s I bought the DVD box set of the Sweeney and what do you think featured heavily in the first episode? An old Bedford ambulance used in a hold up on a security van which finished up on an old bomb site in Buller Road Peckham, later to have the Yellow Brick Estate built on it. As much as I looked for my 4 year old self in the episode, I could not count myself as an extra ☹️
Over to you guys, beat that one

I beat Haile Gebrselassie in the London Marathon. Admittedly he only ran half of it and then pulled out but I finished. He didn’t so I, and a few thousand others, beat him.
So hah to his World Records and Gold Medals.4 -
