Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The Queen is recruiting a washer-up who must be willing to travel for up to three months of the year around her palaces - just to do the dishes. The £14,200-a-year employee will be based at Buckingham Palace but must be able to travel with a dishcloth to Windsor and Sandringham, and also to Balmoral and Holyroodhouse in Scotland. A ‘General Catering Assistant (Wash Up)’ - as it has been described in a job advert - will work for 40 hours per week on the team 'responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the staff restaurant'.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 £14,200 ? that's practically minimum wage!! Miserable cow!! :laugh: You would expect it to be higher. Aren't they suppose to make sure their staff are well paid so they don't lift anything. I bet the cutlery is worth more than £14k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeegieDave Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You would think in this era of modern technology they would just buy the palace kitchen a dishwasher! A more cost effective solution in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
