Malcolm Dundee, Scotland -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Lawson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 November 2002 01:49 To: [email protected] Subject: [SUT] Occupations Dear listers. Interesting discussion on the quaint names for occupations of old. Can anyone tell me what a "Coast Waiter" did. I think I got the "waiter" part correct got the original from a hand written apprenticship document from the early 1800s and the writing is not all that clear. Bruce Lawson.
