327. Welsh Idiosyncrasies - Nickname Series (22)

There was a man in Govilon who was called Tom the Lion who would get drunk and fight anything including the lamp post at the bottom of Blaenafon Road.  When he shouted his battle cry "when the lion roars Gilwern trembles" everyone including the police disappeared.
