I want one.

BTW, Tom, I was listening to a show from 1999 (11th March to be precise),
where John was sharing duties with Simon Mayo, who was in the middle of some
sort of DJing record attempt.
John read out a request from "my friend in America, Tom Roach".
I always assumed your name was pronounced something like "Rosh", but then it
occurred to me it might have been you.
Was I right?

Alan
