Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Many years ago I worked at a Southdown Bus garage on the south coast. It was the central servicing garage for the area. My title was Timekeeper.

My hours were 7:30am till 5:30pm. Basically I sat in a little office at the entrance to the garage, and, as and when the occasional bus arrived or departed, I had to press a button to open and close the garage door.In the summer the door was often kept open so even that function was denied to me.

My only other task was to greet sales people, which wasn't very often, and phone through to the person they had come to visit.

And that was about it. I did it for 6 months and never before, nor since, have a I read so many books.

PS before any of you idle blighters think about checking to see if a similar job is going the garage has long since gone.

At least they actually do something.

Traffic marshall at the taxi rank outside Lewisham station. The bloke literally stands there (and there is one there 24 hours a day) to stop anything going up there except taxis and disabled passengers.

What's wrong with a sign?

By the amount of people posting on here regularly, quite a few of you have managed it too.

Always fancied gritting roads.

Must be about 2 days work most years.
