This is one of my oldest rellies who went on to live to be 90. In the occupation box it says 'Blind Farmer,' but there is no mention of him being blind in the final column...

I think someone here might be 'sight challenged' but it's not the 'retired' farmer. Dea Xxx

O.K., Just to make you feel better - If you look at the image on 50%, sit back, and squint, it DOES look very much like 'Blind' Dea Xxx
