Jaguare,

I'm sure that was the 1851 Census  ;)  Can't imagine answering the telephone today "Happy Chick, how can I help you?"  unless I was being paid a lot of money for it ;D

Why does Charles Chick make me LOL ???

Oops! you are right Wendi  :) Although if it was 1960's they might have had a daughter called Groovy
