Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?
Sitting here in 2025 and thinking about famous or infamous people I’ve known, I’ve previously written about the few ‘famous’ people I’ve met, but my memory tells me there’s no one in the infamous line – except for one fleeting introduction to a young man who turned up for the evening in the flat that I was visiting with my boyfriend at the time.
The word ‘Infamy’ would suggest that all the readers, at least the ones in England, would know of this gentleman, but I should imagine that very few will recognise the name of Aloysious ‘Lucky’ Gordon.
Mr Gordon was a friend of the much more infamous young woman called Christine Keeler. Put her name into Google and you may find an article or two about how she was at the heart of ‘The Profumo Affair’ in 1963 which caused embarrassment to the Conservative government.
If you are at all interested in these characters, do have a look online to find out more about them and the whole scandal that had London aghast in 1962/1963!

White Haired Woman 
The most infamous person I’ve ever seen was Kenneth Noye.
He was sitting near me having a coffee with friends in a Kent garden centre. I couldn’t believe that someone, who had murdered 2 people, could be out enjoying the sunshine. Added to that, they reckon that about 80% of anything made in gold nowadays is made from the melted down gold from the Brink’s Mat bullion robbery that he was clearly involved with.

Yours beats mine, though if is possible that he came into our shop when I was in West Malling. Someone with the surname Noyes, also living in West Kingstown (so I might have glimpsed him but I didn’t know it was him!) bought a display cabinet from us.
