Ag labs, dairymen and fishermen, so no worries with food. Publicans - always useful! Domestic servants, so housework taken care of. Artists and picture framers, so good in the cultural department.

There wouldn't be any use for military types up there but they are most welcome to help out on the farm or in the bakery. It would be nice to hang a few photos around the house when it's built. Maybe the blacksmith could provide the hanging nails. John

Mine were farmers and landowners, so I will eat well. The rest after the mid 1800's were photographers and military types. Teresa

Mine are bricklayers and chippies so I can have a nice house wherever I go and a bit of music whilst building (music teachers) Lin

Grandfather was a shipwright, - not sure whether we'd need ships but I'm sure his skills would be useful. My blacksmiths might be handy for mending items . My bricklayer would have a job if someone could supply the materials. Just in case the place gets too crowded and there's a water shortage, I'll ask for the help of one of my several Artesian well borers to find an alternative supply. Aunty Jessie would be pleased to help out the baker, already there ( she made excellent brandy snaps) and her brother was a caterer so he'd be useful too. My ag. labs were a hard working crowd so I'm sure they'd help out as well. Gwyn

I will swap you a hair cut for a couple of beers. Is that ok? It would also be nice to have a hot bath so get that boiler fired up. John

mine are mostly fishermen and jesus's friends were mostly fishermen! i have a baker - i like bread. several landlords - i like my wine (we are back to religon again - bread and wine) a couple of stone masons, will have a rood over my head. my late dads trade was plumber gas fitter so was another gt gt grandfather, heating and water sorted. a couple of games keepers - i am veggie but they will lok after the pheasants and rabbits a few ag labs for good measure for my diet. i think that i will do ok the question is what can i do? i will probably spend my time just asking them the things i have NOT found whilst here on earth and being annoying. lol tina x

I have a barber so will have no problem getting my hair cut. I have many farmers and Grocers so shouldn't go short on food. I have a Baker and Confectioner so shouldn't go short on nice food. I have Tailors so should have something suitable to ware for most occasions, especially if I have to see the BIG BOSS.
