Exactly — the construction of the question changes the answer completely, David.
I understand the oldest business as a specific company with records, and the oldest profession as a type of work humans have done for millennia. Anyway, it was nice to do some research and learn something new.
Oops…yeah, remember my English is not 100% so to express my words correctly maybe a little off. Yes your right I should of ask oldest profession. Ok, next time I will try better..lol.hehe Actually I learnt this in business school learning import and export, and shipping. Thank you Iwona, I also learnt something from you too. Thank you Iwona for your advice and comment.
Haha, no worries at all – sometimes I have the same problem expressing myself clearly in English! Honestly, we’re all always learning, so I think it’s great you brought it up. I’m glad we could both take something away from this conversation, and thank you for sharing your knowledge too!
