Congratulations, Richard! I’m intrigued by some of your answers. Thanks very much for the nomination – I will, of course, pay it forward. 🙂
Hehe… Intriguing is my middle name! 🙂
Félicitations !!
Maintenant on va parler en Français 😀
Bien sur! 🙂
selling eggs door to door. OMG.
Thanks so much.
Gavin.
50p for half a dozen (it WAS 30 years ago), and cheap at the price!
No worries! 🙂
Thanks for the nomination. Will have to give it some thought when I get chance. My first job was being a paper boy (which I quit after a few weeks because I hated it!), but selling eggs door to door is way more intriguing!
I did a day long stint as a freebie paper round – hated it with a passion! (Hence only one day!)
No worries about the nomination! 😀
