Hi Folks! Well, I certainly wouldn't fancy call centre/customer care....at least you don't have to smile at the customer! - (just as well, as most of my front teeth are missing, waiting to cash in the £000's I'm going to get from 'Colleague Share' to have 'em fixed! :Very Happy

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days


Oh happy days name that tune , lol
