    Heard about this on the radio today. Seems Lord Waterford (whoever he is) is seeking a new butler - no experience reqd. There was a bloke on the radio who runs a Butler Agency Worldwide and he said some get paid £130k pa.

    Still a nice chunk of change. I'd take the job and use my wages to train a few monkey butlers to do all the work for me, the toff will never know the difference.

    Hmmm - presumably if Lord Waterford is advertising 'no experience required', he's not planning on going near the €100k mark. Still, €50k plus room and board for basically looking after one person's needs - even if it's pretty demanding - is a good proposition. It's also one of those jobs where you'd hardly have time to spend your money, unless the coke and hookers came through the service entrance. Good for a bookish mid-twenties chap to do for a few years while saving for a deposit.

    My entire knowledge of butlers comes from 'Remains of the Day'. I'm going to assume I'll have to pander to the lords anti-semitic views, whilst neglecting my possible relationship with the housekeeper.

    Even if was worth 10 million euro, I would do that job for 100k a year. 99.99% of people would jump at that job I'd say.

    I am applying for this, as is my husband, the kids and the dogs. Surely one of us will get it.

    What an interesting job for a CV?

    The place looks lovely. Mightn't be a bad job at all.

    Though, most lords being bent as a lord, you could be earning your money.
