    @michael57 I wonder what that would be in today's money! also 65 hours a week! I couldn't have done that at 13! Power to you. 

    @sandy123 What kind of tea set did you have? and if you had a café now, what would you call it?

    @JessieJ Maybe they have moved elsewhere? If you could do archeology now, where in the world would you want to study? I think Italy would be so interesting!

    It was one of those colourful  plastic ones, used to pretend to make everyone a cuppa and food.  I bought my granddaughter a barbie coffee shop for Xmas, a big  improvement from my day. 
    I have no idea about names lol

    Aww I love it when you can share things you loved with the younger generations  <3

    When you think of one (or a few) you'll have to open it up virtually on the community :)

    @michael57 It makes you wonder though, with the currency change in the UK. You should! :) I think we forget how much processes change.

    A very boring answer, Hannah, have always loved Egypt & Egyptology, that's where I would have loved to have gone. There, I wouldn't have minded pushing a wheelbarrow. ;)

    when i was a little kid i wanted to be a mad scientist, as those guys made the monsters on the big screen, as i got older i realised the monsters were not real but someone created them through special effects, i was an artist and worked on film and tv until my illness stopped me, now its a hobby i still make monster busts and masks but only occasionally, some great examples in this thread

    @c_j Where would you have the B&B if you ran one?

    @JessieJ Haha! I always get that gut feeling that Egyptology still has so much to uncover! Would be very interesting :) 

    @grinchy What would have been your mad scientist name?

    Hi @Hannah_Scope ideally I would say the coast but even the countryside would be ideal.

    Have you changed your mind about this plan now then @Strawberry1?  :p I wanted to be a nursery assistant. Whilst I am working in education, and indeed with 'assistant' in my title, I could not be working at a completely different side of that scale (in a university!)   :D

    @Strawberry1 What made you want to be an air hostess? I think it'd be a great way to see the world! <3
