You seriously got a job at the hotel where The Beatles were going to be staying -- that was so smart! And you got to kiss George? Thank you for sharing your story of when you met a Beatle -- it is amazing!

I had heard where the Beatles were going to be staying and procured a job there as a housemaid about a week before their arrival. When the Beatles went out on the fire escape security went with them so it wasn't difficult to slip into the room around the corner and access the fire escape. This article though states I kissed Ringo. This is incorrect. I kissed George, who you can see is standing on the left next to John, then Paul, then Ringo. There wasn't room to squeeze past anyone and security guards were standing next to Ringo.<br />Once they noticed me, two men raced back inside and out another window to hustle me back along the fire escape. In these pictures I'm wearing my housemaid's smock & apron, but within minutes I'd been ordered to take them off, collect my things and was dismissed on the spot. I think I floated out of the hotel on a cloud deliriously happy that I'd achieved what I set out to do. This wasn't the only crazy things I did as a teenager, but it was certainly one of the most memorable.<br />Lynne Fellowes (nee O'Neill)<br />Lynne & Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357554050977068167noreply@blogger.com
