    I HAD the best job ever!

    I was a guard on the trains 30 years ago....

    If we found wallets etc we'd nick any money before handing them in.

    Ahhh... but I have such happy memories!

    You just reminded me of being 12 years old and leaving my handbag on the Glasgow to London train. It turned up in the Lost & Found minus all my pocket money. Hope the guard who was earning "so much money" found some use for the few pounds I had managed to save up.

    Happy memories indeed!

    I think I have a dream job (when my boss isn't making silly decisions). I am his PA/admin/bookeeper for a promotions company and my job is so varied, I can be doing the banking one moment, and removing dead mice from traps the next, or listening to a conversation that goes 'well, we can do it with G strings, or lycra leaopard print.....' I also take enquiries from a variety of youth organisations for creative workshops - we work with Young people in Young offenders intitutes, youngsters in exclusion units as well as young carers.

    I literally never know what's going to happen next, my boss is also a party DJ and has DJ'd at the Maclaren F1 celebration when Lewis Hamilton won his championship, and Red Bull last year when they won the constructors championship. We also supplied the majority of the 'walk around' entertainment for the final GP of the season at Abu Dhabi, including a Football Freestyler who is always asked for by name by Bernie Ecclestone.

    well that all sounds great all but the mouse out of the trap bit,, awwwww loool,, :eek:

  • I think a nurse is the best job in the world. You get to care for your countrymen and serve your country as well. Plus the pay is good!
