A Travel Agent looked up from his desk to see an old lady and an old
gentleman peering in the shop window at the posters showing the
glamorous destinations around the world.

The agent had a good week and the dejected couple looking in the
window gave him a rare feeling of generosity.
He called them into his shop, "I know that on your pension you could
never hope to have a holiday, so I am sending you off to a fabulous
resort at my expense, and I won't take no for an answer."
He took them inside and asked his secretary to write two flight
tickets and book a room in a five star hotel.

Then, as can be expected, they gladly accepted, and were off!
About a month later the little old lady came in to his shop.
"And how did you like your holiday?" he asked eagerly.
"The flight was exciting and the room was lovely," she said. "I've
come to thank you, but one thing puzzled me.

Who was that old bugger I had to share the room with?"

I hope you realise that posting 3 smiley faces, takes 3 taps on your finger.

Posting my 3 smiley faces takes 12 taps.

Carry on like this and i'm gonna have a blister on the end of my Peter Pointer!!!

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
