When You Were Young

[zylaphone]

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

[Ken4155]

The more books i read, the more i wanted to be an author. Alas, to date i have had one short story published and a poem.

[ummmm]

Sam...my dads sisters and brothers worked on the buses, He used to come over for his holidays (being the youngest) and rode on the buses all day. They'd give him a pack of crisps and a bottle of pop and sit him on the back sit.

He knew more streets in this town than most Northampton born and bred.

it wasn't till my teens, but I thought being a travel writer sounded like my sort of job.

[Sam1960]

I loved those open back type busses ummmm, they screamed of character. They were cold, they were bumpy at times, but as a kid, that was where I wanted to work. What I wouldn't give now to be given a packet of crisps, a bottle of pop, be sat on the back seat, and enjoy a day out on one.

A dress designer. What a laugh. Started off in a shop, but did improve as I got older, and got better jobs

[jno]

did that work out, anne?

[anneasquith]

Jno. Despite what one or two have claimed on here , it did indeed work out. I was / am very lucky . :-)

[Vagus]

I had no idea then, and still have no idea..

[piggynose]

[dannyk13]

Never gave it a thought.

[saintpeter48]

I wanted to be a lollipop man, because you don't start work until you're 65! :)

[iluvmargie]

A ballet dancer!

[iluvmargie]

Lol saintpeter.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things

[jazzyjen]

I only ever wanted to have my own house (to clean), with a husband and children. Achieved that but I’ve got a bit bored with it now!

[jno]

I hardly like to ask when you became a man, maggiebee, there's already an irate thread about binary going on.

Glad to hear it worked out, anne. Honourable ambitions both.

[LadyCG]

An Air Stewardess.

[pixie374]

[emmie]
