Default Re: Having a laugh?

Back in the last century (1994!) I was working as a DJ (by night; general maintenance person by day) on a camp site on the French Riviera; the last on the beach road, and the only one with a disco bar, so it was always packed with tourists and even a few locals. The camp owner's 11-year old daughter, who came over with her mother partway through the season, claimed never to have seen records before; but if she was born in 1983, with CDs brand-new and most people's collections on vinyl, that seems a bit unlikely.

She was a quick learner, though! I soon had her cueing up records ..... She also gave me a hand replacing the thermostat contactor in the chip fryer. Which of course we tested to make sure it worked properly afterwards
