Great story VetchI bought my first hi fi system from his brother, John, who had a shop on Walters Road. I was unsure of what to go for, and he was very helpful, and accommodating.
He loaded a stack system into his vehicle, drove me to my home in Gowerton, set the system up, and left everything in trust.
" Have a good listen ", he told me. " No obligation to buy if you are not satisfied ".
A week later I went back to his shop and paid him.
What a great guy he was. And a damn good salesman.![]()

Nillson's recording of ' Without you ' is so damn epic.

No problem Vetch - for your Caldy Island Discs, we have lined up Anne Robinson.Ms. Young has the sexiest of voices, and she's not bad looking. She retired due to ill health, and Desert Island Discs suffered accordingly.

Thought she’d be your type, what with her being the same age as you …..![]()

Now I know why nobody likes you around here.
Anne Robinson, Jeez, what a beast. There's more sex appeal in orange pith.
If I were cast ashore on a desert island with her, I'd go swim with the sharks.![]()




ok Vetch - we’ll ask Sian Lloyd. She’s my age.![]()



Well I do remember seeing her in Patrick’s about 16 years ago when she was with David Goldstone who was quite elderly at the time ….Couldn't place her, so looked her up. Not bad, you rascal.
She probably prefers older men, though, so watch out.![]()
Well she is a Maesteg girl and we know Taff has a soft spot for girls from the Llynfi valley
ok Vetch - we’ll ask Sian Lloyd. She’s my age.![]()
