A comment on another thread reminded me of job titles that have disappeared. I worked at one time as a "Girl Friday" shocksmile. I have also been a "Ground Hostess" (for an airline as opposed to an Air Hostess).

What were the job titles you've had that no longer exist?

Four gallons? Shall I top it up to make it the round pound?

Lilypops no worries, as for your hairdresser say nothing, she will know why you left. To start a new thread go to forum scroll down to chat,click on then a big box will appear saying start new thread (i think).
Hope the new "Do" is fantastic
