Talking of Deliverance... when I was in my twenties and posted to Rosyth for a few months I was bumming around Scotland on weekends and identified some free accommodation near Fort William: a barn containing hay bales and bubble-wrap sheets. I walked into the town (and it was raining, as ever), found a pub and had a drink at the bar. A chubby fellow walked in who only I recognised and we started chatting - and ended up teaming up to play pool against two of the locals. It was Ned Beatty (yes, he of Deliverance) and he was a very pleasant chap. He was up there filming 'Restless Natives' and at the end of the evening he returned to his 5 star hotel (and having enjoyed an evening incognito and not being treated as a celebrity) and I retired to my haystack.Originally Posted by cyril evans awaydays
