Pinup, Serendipity is one of my favourite words (and concepts) ever, so I hope the person you know is - well, serendipitous Grin

MuswellHillDad · 11/08/2013 04:08

Freek and his surname was Monster

Yes I know that sounds too ridiculous to be true but it is. He is Dutch and had a quite senior position in their Post office about 15 years ago. I had to call him often to get figures etc. It was never easy asking to be out through ..... Grin
