Guest mitch112 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 There was an interesting thread looking at the age span of pigeon fanciers on Basics. It would be interesting to hear where or what PB members do for a living So are you employed, if so, what do you do? Or are you retired, if so, what did you do? People seem to think all pigeon fanciers are old men with cloth caps who work down the pits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
