I was wondering if anyone here has had the experience of someone saying "you look just like (fill in the blank)".
Any stories ?

Yes well now you mention it I had some fame locally in England during the late 90s due to my perceived resemblance to John Major.
Who he?
A British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1990 - 1997.
In fact during that time as a member of our local Amateur Dramatic Society
APS (Amateur Players of Sherborne)
(A member not because I have any acting prowess but rather because through my company I possesed an essential scenery moving delivery van!!)
I was (against my better judgement as I can never remember lines or lyrics come to that) persuaded to pretend to be John Major and make a short speach at one year's Christmas party
OK so like the other John I have a full head of grey going on snowy white hair
And I seem to recall at least one public occassion when I was aware of curious stares in my direction
John Fowles
I also remember realising when he came to power that now that the Prime Minister was two years younger than me I must be getting old
Policemen of course had looked like kids to me for some years!!
