klatuveradanikto Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I used to be a motor cycle despatch rider and one of my daily jobs was to deliver the evening standard to number 10 downing Street. This was before the barriers were there I used to ride in park my bike in front of number 10, by the time I was off my bike the door was open waiting to receive the papers. Great memories.

aga man Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Not exactly a job but when I studied agriculture at college many moons ago, we had to collect semen from the large male pigs {boars}. We had to stimulate the boar and when it mounted a horse like frame …………….. I'll leave the rest to you're imagination, but we were assessed on this and was expected to be professional and keep a straight face!

silver pigeon69 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Don't know the "job Title?" But had a summer job in Spain, when i was 16. I had to sit at a table outside the bar, pretending to be a customer (with Beer!!). When the Police turned into the road, i had to flick a switch on the wall behind me, which turned down the music!

Old Boggy Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not me, but had an uncle who was a 'Saggar Maker's Bottom Knocker' in the potteries. For those who don't know, this was an unskilled job making the small round stands that the Saggar, a circular vessel that held items to be fired in the kilns, to stand on. The more skilled job was the Saggar Maker, so my uncle was his assistant. He later rose to the exalted position of Saggar Maker after three years.

Muddy Funker Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Not that bizarre, but one summer I got a job with a contract landscaping company grass cutting. My job was basically strimming in a graveyard, all the bits my colleague couldn't get to with the mower, which as you can imagine were plentiful. When we got to the end we started again. Pretty thankless job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
