Love it, my mum's list is quite similar to this. She blames the pineapple picking for her lack of thumb prints which caused a major issue going into the US once.

One of my jobs was to keep women happy, now that is an impossibility, I had to keep them supplied with threads and when they asked for supplies I had to give it out in the order of asking, even if it meant passing several who were waiting for supplies, it was the most frightening job I ever had, and I have been a fireman worked with magnesium, sodium, hydrogen and chlorine but those were tame compared with keeping women happy

That's interesting, elsie!!

I had to give my fingerprints after my car was stolen and recovered, so that they could eliminate mine from the other prints on the car.
The Policeman said that he had seen clearer prints from brickies and plasterers than mine.
Wonder if that was the pineapples - although I didn't do it for long.

Rary - I didn’t know they employed strippers of such a diverse age.

I was a good bit older when I was a stripper Lumpy, I was the same as Jay-ell, a printed media distribution agent, or paperboy at 10 and then became a bakery assistant or roll delivery boy followed by a beverage distribution operative, or milk boy,then I left school and started working.

I distributed pints yes, but not milk. Can you imagine them drinking milk on bingo night at a workings men club?

Parent of five now officially adult children four of whom will be at uni come autumn and all still living at home.
Parent of one loving golden retriever.
Grandparent to multiple baby worms.
I lack the amazing diversity of jobs most of the other grapes have had.
I am a hospital doctor thinking hard (excited/nervous/worried/terrified) about early retirement next spring.
The thought of being able to go to bed knowing the phone isn’t going to ring for a dash to the hospital is calling me......
Gardening has been my therapy and joy although my family and work family view me as eccentric and maybe they are right. But I find growing food to be deeply satisfying. I’m really pleased to have discovered the grapevine as I think a lot of the grapes have the gardening bug worse than me.
