Alan Minter, Kevin Muscat, Craig Pickering, Rebecca Cooke, the journalist Simon Calder and the rock band "The Cure" all born in the same place as me.
Anyone fancy a guess?

Indeedy. I met Alan Minter once, my Dad had wangled him as a special guest at some kind of event he was organising. Being only three I had no idea who he was and wasn't particularly excited to meet him.

Dame Kelly Holmes! According to Wikipedia - I wonder if she realises I was born there too.

No-one anyone outside Germany would know apart from perhaps Niklas Luhmann. That's the town where I was born and lived for the first few months only though.
Town where I grew up really didn't produce anyone even vaguely 'well-known' anywhere beyond the county borders.
