But seriously Anna my life has been amazingly eventful, but not surprising, because I left home determined to see the world, ALL of it, when I was 16. And I don't need notes, on what I said when and to whom. Because it's the truth, I can recall it it all instantly. As for as success goes, what did surprise me most, was the huge hungry market for honesty and sincerity in personal and business relationships. That I pass along to the younguns. But that's why I could never be a politician. A speechwriter yes, because I have drafted government and public utilities responses for many clients (mostly liberal) in my career. Couldn't agree more. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 There were even ‘working class’ cigarettes, I’d never dare to offer a girl a Park Drive or a Woodbine, so I ‘classed up’ by switching to various brands of filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you lived, my mum married your next door neighbor, and I was acquainted with some of the lads you knocked about with. Except for the couple of years difference in age, we probably would have been mates. Always a pleasure to banter with you, a real straight talker!

I've no problem with anybody choosing to be anonymous, only with those who use their anonymity to hurl insults, and lies at other posters with impunity. Doesn't seem like the "bloke" manly thing to do, but that's just me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
