OUR TOM

Hello,
I have a recollection of Tom buying his wife a nice big pad in or around Bridgend.
Regards Don

My Memories of Tom Jones are less so, as I was never a fan, Its just something that you manage to make sound ok after a shed full walking back to camp having missed the last bleeding taxi ?

If anything I became more aware of Tom music traveling back from Tidworth - Haverford West as being a CQMS we did the hand over so was last to move and families had gone ahead, well I had the joy of traveling back each weekend with Tom Jones Biggest Fan Mr Charlie Fenton so yes we did listen to Mr Tom Jones regularly.

But must mention although the biggest Fan its was the national anthen playing whilst we crossed the 7 bridge Charlie would not have it any other way nor I!

But even today I cant say I am a Fan, but He holds is own for Wales, don't live there like but neither do I!

You probarly wont believe me for what Im about to put..I stopped a dark coloured car in the early hours of the morning in Northern Ireland at a VCP just outside Downshire Road RUC Station. It was hamering down, and when I say hamering I mean hemering infact the rain was going straight down !!!!!!!!!!Anyway I asked the driver to wind his window down and asked him for some form of I.D which he produced. On hearing my voice he asked if I was welch, which I replied yes!!!He said do you know this welch guy in the back!!!He wound the rear window down and on the back seat sprawled out was TOM with what to looked to be a take away!!!Stuck for words I said ALRIGHT and said its nice weather for ducks as I was soaked through to the skeleton. I then alowed the car and passenger:notworthy: to go on the merry way..As they left I then realised that I had a NI patrol camera and to this day Im gutted I didnt take a pic:mad:

Dai,
You were there!!!! That's the most important thing.
I know poor Tom's getting older by the day......some of his songs are pass their sell by date. I still like him though (as sad as i may be lol!!!):nah: .
