A "street dinner" a few year's ago:
- an IT consultant (hubby)
- a couple who run a company that makes small springs and things
- a couple of lawyers (not related)
- somebody quite high up in Warner Music Australia
- a radiographer
- an accountant
- An ex socceroo (Australian national team), who was and is assistant coach to the socceroos and coach for the Olympic team
- a couple who owned a company which makes smart cards
- a sign writer who ran a car hire business offering various versions of old cadillacs and was also an Elvis impersonator
- an advertising person (not quite sure what she did in advertising)
- a couple who run a company which imports bathroom tiles and accessories from the UK
- a PR consultant
- one or two spouses (at least one male) who help their other halves and children manage their lives (including me)
- a retired couple (not sure what they did when working)
Most of the people above have moved out of the street, which is a shame as we don't have the dinners any more. It's an isolated cul-de-sac with thirty houses in a semi-rural area, so a lot of the first ones that moved here got together to socialise periodically.
Not as intriguing as yours, Tarquin, but a fair old mix of people - at least five Brits in there.
