What our mum's think we do!

We thought it would be mildly amusing (and to be honest interesting!) to ask our Mums (and Dads!) to describe, on the spot and without thinking, what they think we do all day here in the tictoc family therefore below are the responses so far. I have to confess I'm so far hugely impressed with the responses and will happily confess that I guess we underestimate the genius of our parents but then, they are responsible for us so we shouldn't be surprised!!

Andrews Dad : 
"You create, from scratch, these wonderful web site thingies that most companies, conglomerates, councils and even individuals see as being
necessary to advertise and promote their particular areas of expertise, their facilities, resources and abilities.

I understand you also create programmes in several computer languages, so you could be known as a polyglot in the computer world. What you do with these programmes is a bit of a grey area for me, but I assume you use them to make your web sites do interesting things at the touch of a button, rather than just provide contact details and an e-mail address to which all queries should be sent."


Colins Mum :
"You put together on a website text from a customer to advertise his product, with suitable pictures, and sometimes set up a buying facility"

Mels Mum:
1st answer - "Design logos and brands and build websites" 

2nd answer - "hopefully make enough money to keep me in the manor to which I expect in my later years!!"

Alans Dad :
"I haven't a clue! Do you sit at the computer and play around with designs and pictures?"
