I wouldnt get out of bed for 16k a year. I would rather be dolite scum rather than a scameravan operator.

It is a pretty sh'tty wage for an unpleasant job! (Does anyone think those vans will be heated in the back? Or equipped with a comfy, ergonomic chair???)

Not a great topic to bring up in the pub either.

I'm sure some MFI or Woolworths employees might consider it. Not for me though.

I would imagine that announcing that you are a scamera van operator in the pub, would immiediately put you on a level with an Inland Revenue Investigator

Ie no friends and smelling of P*ss!!

Same here.
Somehow I doubt you'd keep the job for a year.

No matter how desperate, there's some things I wouldn't do, and this is right down there in the very darkest depths of improbability right below [yes, below] hacking off my scrotum with a rusty cheese grater.

I'd rather have little reason for existance, than none at all.
