Dawn Tinsley quotes from The Office (UK)

Dawn

He proposed on a Valentine's Day, although he didn't do it face to face, he did it in one of the little Valentine bits in the paper. I think he had to pay for it by the word, because it just said "Lee love Dawn, marriage?" which you know, I like, because it's not often you get to something that's both romantic and thrifty.

I always wanted to be a children's illustrator and when people said, "What do you do?" I would say, "Well, I'm an illustrator, but I do some reception work for a little bit of extra cash." So, for years, I was an illustrator who did some reception work. Then Lee thought it would be a good idea for us both to get full-time jobs and then you're knackered after work and it's hard to do illustrating. So now, when people ask me what I do, I say I'm a receptionist.

And what happens, you're going into battle situation, right, you are up the front, with your men, or are you coming up the rear?

Gareth

Well, depends...

Dawn

So it's possible you'd come up the rear?

Gareth

It's possible, yeah.

Tim

That's all we wanted to know.
