Tommy Cooper

Good day today, I'd made a plan and managed to get it licked, which made everyone happy :-)

I went out for a walk tonight and went passed Caerphilly's most famous son Tommy Cooper. This statue of Tommy was unveiled in 2008 by his friend Sir Anthony Hopkins, who is patron of The Tommy Cooper Society. In 2009 for Red Nose Day, a charity Red Nose was put on the statue, but the nose was stolen.

Below are a selection of my favourite Tommy Cooper jokes :-) but before you read them, let me say a huge thank you for all the hearts, stars and wonderful comments about my (what turned out to be) Clover as usual many many thanks :-)
