i'll see what we can do about your country cottage, when the've finished mine iris

No problem there, they can drink as much as they like and more! I heard that the BIG BOSS likes the odd bottle or few as well.

Well the soldiers and policemen were all scots irish and they all seem to have been up for a bit of fun, I hope there's someone up there who can brew them the odd pint.... Barbara..xx

Tailoresses would be good for those fashion conscious ladies amongst you. No soldiers allowed up there, they would have to find something else to do, maybe play cricket. Unfortunately there would also be no requirement for policemen due to the peaceful nature of the place. Someone to look after the cricket ground would be very good for all those cricketers and fans. Granny would be very popular at afternoon tea when the cricket players stopped for a break.

Mine were small farmers, miners, mill workers, the odd shop keeper, a few soldiers and policemen, a few tailoresses, someone who looked after a cricket ground, oh and grandad worked in the gas works and gran had been a cook in a big house.... Barbara..xx

Caz Sorry but the position of landlord up there has already been taken by the BIG BOSS. Railway men would be extremely useful, we would need a good transport infrastructure. Your layabouts would probably have to go down the other direction unless they make amends and help the moles dig the tunnels. John

Jules a paper bag maker sounds intriguing? Just worked out what ag labs were! Mine were nail makers { sounds fun! } ag labs, landlord, military, firemen, railway man, tailors, cooks and a couple of layabouts! Good thread Paul, Cazx

Up there everybody gets what they desire, so you're likely to have an angelic voice. Don't worry!

John if I tried to sing it I would kill :-))) it is a lovely song though. Germaine x

A nice picturesque thatched country holiday cottage would be wonderful if you could arrange that Iris.

Okay, So, Annie has some contacts in the Other place. Jules, you never know when a Paperbag may come in useful. Especially if you have to do a lot of shopping at the bakers. Any more barbers? we can start a barber's quartet. Germaine, Do you have a harp to go with that lovely voice?

i've got masons, brick layers, thatchers, thats the house sorted...farmer,s ag/labs by the dozen ,food sorted.....a cordwainer for shoes...maids and cleaners , house work done...not bad....iris

Most of mine were fishermen but I have some millers in there too so we should be well in up there with our bread and fishes. Will have clean windows too if they have any my Grandfather ( the one who can't be found was a window cleaner) I have so many questions to ask. Talking of that I know a lovely song/hymn written by a man from here will go and see if I can find it. Germaine x As I was a' walking one morning in spring, I met with some travellers, on an old country lane. The first was an old man, the second a maid The third was a young boy, who smiled as he said: With the wind in the willows,and the birds in the sky There's a bright sun to warm us wherever we lie We have bread and fishes and a jug of red wine, To share on our journey, with all of mankind. So I sat down beside them, with the gay flowers around, And we ate from a mantle, spread out on the ground They told me of peoples and prophets and kings And all of the one God who knew everything CHO: I asked them to tell me their name and their race, So I would remember their kindness and grace My name it is Joseph, this is Mary my wife And this is our young son, who is our delight We are travelling to Glaston, through England's green lanes To hear of man's troubles, to hear of man's pains We've travelled the wide world by land and by sea To tell all the people, how they can be free CHO: So sadly I left them in a cold country lane, I know that I never shall see them again The first was an old man, the second a maid The third was a young boy, who smiled as he said: CHO:

I think mine would be more use in the other place as I have lots of coalminers, coal hewers, coal weighers and coal dealers. A few blacksmiths and assorted pub landlords, wine dealers and mallsters and brewers. I also have a couple of missionaries but not sure if they are still needed. I also have some doctors and teachers and a few farmers. My great grandfather was a bootmaker and his father a cordwainer so I can help out with shoes.

That's true..... HA HA!! If we do want some fire we can always ask. Is anybody likely to be going in that direction? It's probably best to get your contacts sorted beforehand, you never know when they might be useful.

Not sure you would want a fire up there either, that is more like the other place!!!!

Sorry Claire, no mole catchers allowed up there. No harm is to come to any creature, big or small. Your mole catcher will have to work in the bakery and the moles can help the miners dig the tunnels. Sorry Gwyn, same applies to your mole catcher. John

Claire I've got a mole catcher, who could help your chap ! Gwyn

Well i will have a nice fire because a lot of mine were miners,,will have plenty of plates and some bread to put on the table because i have a potter and a baker, Wont have a mole problem either,,,got a mole catcher too,..lol

I've got some cider brewers, so lets have a party!!
