Hell, yes! I remember Jon and Pat well. I was particularly appreciative of the support Pat gave me as a young musician. Pat was also very involved in politics. I remember when the Tories put on a public meeting at Portsmouth Guildhall with Quintin Hogg as a speaker. Pat turned up extremely smartly dressed, and managed to blag his way into the reserved Tory seats at the front. When it was time for questions from the audience, the chair only took questions from the front rows. Pat put his hand up, and was called to ask a question, but instead of a polite question, Pat started an anti-Tory diatribe. Eventually, the bouncers removed him, and the chairman apologised to the audience, saying that when he had called upon Pat to ask a question, he thought the gentleman was a Tory.
