Respond To An Old Post!

[Answerprancer]

I love carrying on a conversation from ages ago as if it's current.
Let's re-kindle some old threads :-)
...ok, off I go.
(suggestion: make sure the OP is from a poster who is still active).

I just responded to one from Robin8495 from 2009!

I'm sure you didn't expect an answer to this post for at least 5 years then.

[Answerprancer]

Well, the best things come to those what wait :-)

..which reminds me of the deceased father/cobbler story ;-)

AP, I could be wrong, but I thought I read on here that if you respond to an old post (older than one month, I think) it doesn't show up on the Latest Posts list.

Apologies if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick.

Aw ok
Ahem..
A guy's Dad dies and he's sorting out stuff in the house. Going through his Dad's wardrobe he finds - amongst other things - his Dad's favourite tweed jacket and as he lays it out on the bed he fumbles in the pockets and pulls out a bit of crumpled paper. It turns out on closer inspection to be a ticket for a repair at a cobblers. Seeing that the address is close by, he decides to take a walk into the local village and finds that in between a Cafe Nero and a Carphone Warehouse is the old cobblers shop, still there as if time had stood still for it. He goes in through the door, and as the bell above it tinkles, an ancient white-bearded man comes to the counter and says "How can I help you sir?"
The man shows him the ticket and says "Hey, look at this!" The old man squints at it and disappears round the back with the ticket, then returns a minute or two later and says "They'll be ready for you on Monday"

Ok then - respond to an old post then report back here to say which one it was :-)
