I know I read this and thought surely it's not implying that's too much of a walk 😂😂

But maybe it really is!

I'd need more than 180k to put up with employers like that!

Fuck me.

I'm going for Saudi parents who raised a 'failing' average 5 year old and now want to try again with number 2.

Didn't I see this set up before ? Ah yes , The King and I . Maybe they have been in deepest darkest Siberia and want to become English gentlemen.

It would be a damn shame if the prodigy dribbled on the vellum copy of Shakespeare's sonnets.

Speechless.....

They couldn't have their tutor seen WALKING along the STREET, could they?😂

I personally would quite enjoy the walk to and from the station.

Those poor kids.

I don't think I have even one item on the list of criteria that they want.

But yet the applicant must have a keen love of the outdoors!

Absolutely nuts! That poor kid, he's only 1. The PPs are MN gold though.

How odd. Also only four weeks off a year. I thought the legal min was 5.6 weeks.

Are they raising a child or a robot??

I think it’s Jacob Rees-Mogg 😬

180k a year for a 25 hour week spent fannying around museums and art galleries with a baby??!

I really hope the successful applicant has a sense of humour and peppers trips to Henley Regatta with Gregg's sausage rolls and frequent lunches in Wetherspoons.

I found the constant references to him as ‘the boy’ very cold and impersonal. ‘Our child’ or ‘our son’ would have sounded more like they actually gave a shit about him.

No £180,000 job for me. I can’t knock the rough edges off my Belfast accent. And there’s no way I’d sit through a fucking cricket match, with or without ‘the boy’ in tow😂

The thought of this poor sod having to take a one year old on an "informal" visit to a rowing club has cracked me up!

I do actually know someone who I sent this job app to because they meet the criteria 😂😂😂

At one mine were throwing food from their high chair,
causing mayhem and sleeping with their dummies in the afternoon.

At that salary you could do it for a short while, say around 6 months, stash the money and then clear off .

I think Prince Andrew is looking for a new gig so…

I've read several of these "private tutor" adverts, but this one is a cut above.

Most of them expect you to be educated to postgraduate level in just about every subject on the school curriculum (plus multilingual, proficient at several sports and able to play numerous musical instruments) but they don't usually bang on about Britishness quite so much.

he will have to fight it out with Fergie! 😁

I knew some teenage boys - very good looking, trendy Londoners who were brilliant at maths. They were hired jointly to hang out on some oligarch's yacht to 'enhance the education' of the oligarch's children while on holiday from school and while generally fannying about on yachts at weekends. And these teenage boys were each paid £200 per hour plus accommodation. They took the kids off and played tennis with them and ensured they had fun too so the kids adored them. They stuck with that job for a few years instead of uni and said there were lots of similar parents offering similar rates. I was tempted. But DC and DH and having a life won me over instead.

I seem to be the only one here who assumed this was just posted on the website as a joke?! Everyone is replying as if it's serious - surely it isn't?

I struggled to read that. Felt far too much. Have to have had experience working in the royal household, what on earth 🤣
