The witch job that pays £50,000

[dipsydoodle]

A job centre is advertising a "witch" vacancy with tourist site Wookey Hole, in Somerset, for £50,000 a year.

The witch, who has to live in the site's caves, is expected to teach witchcraft and magic.

Wookey Hole staff say the role is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch and do the things witches do.

The advert for the post, placed in the local press as well as job centres, says applicants must be able to cackle and cannot be allergic to cats.

At current exchange rate that's about US$80,000. Free accomodation too !

1. Does the cave have a W.C.? I might consider it. (eom)

2. I can cackle!

And I love cats -- we have 2 of them. But it's a long commute from Maryland.

5. Enough of your lame excuses

:rofl:

It's "live in" so there is no commuting !

6. I s'pose I could fire up the broom

but it gets lousy mileage.

3. Is the whole living in the cave gig 24/7?

If so, that would be brutal on my joints, especially with England's damp winters. I could handle it for an eight, ten hour stretch, but certainly not on an around the clock basis.

4. Some details on Wookey Hole for you.
