socks 32,253 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 i was just jet washing out the ferrets and was watching the old jill mess around with the youngsters in the spare hutch and i had forgotten she is 9 this year ... she will be working alongside her daughters grandaughters and great grandaughters this year(although i will take it easy with her) ... and is still by a long way the best worker out of them all ... what is the oldest worker you have had ???
