Richard and cassidym, many thanks for the welcome and for the picture Richard. I'll be sure to check out your website and books. My avatar doesn't really look like TC wearing a fez, but it's the best I could do.
badgoodDEB - Tommy Cooper was a very famous and funny British comedian [Welsh actually - Sir Anthony Hopkins recently unveiled a bronze statue memorial of him] who died some years ago. His trademark was a fez which he wore while performing hopelessy inept magic tricks - which were part of his comedy routine. Interestingly enough, my first car was a Mini which I bought second-hand in 1971 - grief, I am old.
