1. Isn't that the Fat Controller?

[guitar man]

2. Yes

"Sir Topham Hat" as he is known on the Thomas the Tank Engine show. I bet he's responsible for all the lead painted toys coming from China, anything to make a shilling for that one I tell ya. :silly:

3. I wondered how his name is pronounced?

Is the "P" hard or soft? Like Top-Hamn, or Toe-phum.

[guitar man]

5. hard p

at least that's how they say it in the show

4. I miss the days when The Man was a fat bastard with a top hat.

Nowadays it's a charismatic shyster with a quick smile and an expensive haircut. I don't think this is progress.

[guitar man]

6. that's true

back then, you could identify "the man" and knew who to try and stick it to.

These days, unfortunately, we all to often don't identify "the man" until after he has already stuck it to us.....:(
