“Old Tom” was nothing but the product of clever marketing. Other people were doing similar things at that time but because they didn’t have the big house, with the military connection, and the grifting daughter, it was barely put into the public domain.Old Tom came at the right time.
Covid…he cheered us up. An old man, and if he could it, well done him.
He raised our spirits.
It was good for him, the exercise, something to am for rather than sitting in a chair all day.
It did take effort on his part, but he did it.
He lifted the spirits of the nation and good for him!
it’s a shame his daughter saw it as a way make money and defiled his name
He didn’t lift my spirits because I saw it for what it was at the start.
