I've met a few over the years.

Jet (phwoar!!) used to live nearby so opened a few fetes and things

Ran into Hunter (he was the one with the blonde floppy hair wasn't he?) in full gladiator outfit in the middle of a shopping centre! Was gazing into nothingness in a shop window, turned round and he was stood behind me! Turned out they were doing some filming or something but very bizarre.

And Saracen (again I think I've got the right one) was the reason Rob joined London and not Surrey Fire Brigade. We were working at a fitness weekend in Essex and he was running an information stand for LFB. Rob had passed all his entry things for Surrey over a year previous and was still being mucked around on entry so went for LFB and was pretty much straight in. Think he still works for them so far as I know (Saracen that is, not Rob, I know he works there lol)

I watched a re-run a while ago, as a child I always though wolf was genuinely mean and full of anger

oops: Can't believe it took almost 21 years to realise this isn't strictly true

Cant wait. I had a neighbour who looked like she should have been on that show. She was super muscley and kinda scary looking. xx

Wow, how long ago was that? My brother used to work for LFB - not as a firefighter though, he did PR or something ... We went to see an event he organised (or helped to organise) a few years ago and I would have been well impressed if Saracen had been there!

Ha ha, I knew someone who slept with Hunter. She was a bit of a stuck up mare so when she walked into lectures we'd all sing the Gladiator tune to her

) he he.

I met lightning once, she was scary and large (I was only 8)

Would have been in 2001 we first met him. I think he basically got roped into doing promotional stuff in return for getting Saturdays off for the show. Don't think he was very happy about it initially from what I've heard. Robworks at the training centre at the moment and so far as I know Saracen's back on station nowadays as Watch Manager (and not known as Saracen lol)
