Does that sound of interest to you?

    Paying up to £30K means pays £20K.

    Yes, we are awash with the "exciting and unmissable opportunities" to earn the same as a trainee painter and decorator whilst sitting in a Bob filled portacabin in a car park in Luton for 11 hours a day.

    fun fact but doesn't really apply to the chance of someone having a certain surname , so "mathematically" it's irrelevant
