I had a very odd experience with Martin McGuinness once
I used to be maintenance electrician for The Ethical Society at Conway Hall in Central London.
Unknown to me, McGuinnes was due to speak at a press conference there and I was working in one of the walk-in cupboards that housed the fuse boxes.
Unknown to me, he and his entourage arrived and made their way along the corridor to the main hall as I emerged from the cupboard on to the corridor carrying a hammer - a slight flurry of consternation which was soon sorted out with no problem
One of his gofers came back with a cup of coffee for me later.
