'Wild' tale of how a random woman ended up 'dating the Beatles' Ringo Starr'
She told the story of how she met Ringo Starr
The allure of the Beatles endures around the globe, with their music continuing to enchant audiences, and forthcoming major films about the band's lives generating immense interest. Consequently, numerous stories regarding the '60s music legends persist in circulating. One particularly fascinating account provides a glimpse into what it was like to date Ringo Starr prior to his rise to fame.
A woman's brother shared a story on Reddit, asserting that she met Ringo, then known by his real name, Richard Starkey, while at Butlin's in North Wales. According to the story, the two allegedly began dating after meeting at the popular British holiday resort.
The brother penned: "My sister dated Ringo at Butlin's in North Wales before he joined the Beatles. When the Beatles first televised appearance came out on UK TV in 1962, I (10M) and my sister (18F) both watched it.
"She suddenly sat bolt upright in her chair and said 'I know him! That's Dick Starkey'. Ringo had been playing with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes at a Butlin's 'holiday camp', or Stalag as it was known to the clients, that our extended family went to, and it turns out she had a little vacation fling with him."
The story has left people stunned, and many took to social media to express their astonishment at the extraordinary tale. They just couldn't get over how the pair allegedly met.
A gobsmacked follower commented: "That's wild. She must have some story about it all. Pretty unique situation. 'Stalag' is equally wild. Good grief." Another enthusiast was quick to exclaim: "That is just so crazy awesome!" Someone else wrote: "How cool!"
