I worked in financial services so can baffle with bull***t.

I worked in a nursing home, I can deal with S@@T.

I was a dispenser in a chemists. I know how to get rid of the opposition.....permanently.

I worked in a bank and had to account for every single penny - the whole branch had to balance every single day - I expect that rules me out.

I worked as an "au pair" so am well-qualified to take charge of unruly, noisy, disobedient and noisy children who might tell fibbers.

Oh, sorry, those are the qualities required for PM.

You would be well-qualified to be Speaker grin

I'd enjoy that ?

I have worked in hospital wards and school classrooms.
I reckon I have a pretty good understanding of how many different kinds of life people live.

I worked in boarding kennels. That meant being able to spot and deal with c**p.

On reflection, that probably makes me better qualified to be a shadow PM.

I acted as a guide in an historical place - and I could answer questions but with no rambling so I wouldn't make a good MP

I was a Saturday girl on the cheese counter at BHS. I am very good at identifying cheese when it's stuck in front of me.

I worked in a sewage farm (yes really, not making it up for the laugh)

Abitbarmy Tue 19-Jul-22 11:20:42

I went potato picking, it was a very dirty business. Also worked in a stately home that received a lot of money from the tax payer to help with upkeep.

Smileless2012 Tue 19-Jul-22 11:19:51

I didn't have a real job either just relied on donations.

Casdon Tue 19-Jul-22 11:18:45

I didn’t have a real job, but I have personal charm and don’t know how to comb my hair, so I definitely qualify for the top position..

Kate1949 Tue 19-Jul-22 11:16:19

I worked in C&A on the children's wear department.

geekesse Tue 19-Jul-22 11:11:21

I used to iron sheets in a dodgy care home. I know how to make stuff look wonderful, even when it still smells bad.

Mamie Tue 19-Jul-22 11:09:25

I worked in a restaurant where cheap and nasty food was proclaimed as a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best things in life, so I could present government policy.

growstuff Tue 19-Jul-22 11:05:28

I worked in a toy department, so I know it's all game.

Grannybags Tue 19-Jul-22 10:59:47

I worked in a hairdressers sweeping up all the hair so I know how to sweep things under the carpet

I worked in the Christmas decorations aisle at Woolies, so know just how a glittery surface can hide a lot of shoddiness.
