Because I think we all need a laugh at the moment! Inspired by a Twitter hashtag, explain your job (or an old one) and guess what other posters’ jobs were.

I use dangerous chemicals and fire around children.

I mend holes in walls to protect communities, and hang out in police stations in the rain.

CheesyHousePlant · 10/04/2020 11:22

I tell people about the problems other people are having and make it very clear that the answer to their problems is held by us - using numbers is important here as it sounds impressive and also having an idea they might not have heard of you cos if you explain it you sound knowledgeable - so that they send lots of money.

I then have to tell them what happened but that is the boring bit and I usually just make that up (just kidding).
