It's not intelectual, but it's a good job nonetheless. I would like to think that although not being acedemic i am still able to make it in life.

There are 2 people in life - those who know they need to sort **** out, and those who don't know they need to sort **** out.

Who supplies the paint? Do they sort **** out?

My employers sort the paint. Unfortunatly they get it from overseas i think from crotia. This REALLY grinds my gears - why can't they get the paint from the good english folk who we all know supply the best stuff?

Please give me your number - we would be more than happy to employ u. We get so many applications off the polish,etc every week. Although they seen to be idea we would rather employ english folk first.

With this sort of job, we are certain english pride takes first place. Nothing is more patriotic than the white cliffs in england.

We must stay strong and keep england pure.

I'm not technically English - from Northern Ireland, and email me in trust to sort out numbers etc. Do you do benefits like company accomodation or cars etc? Or is that for management?

It is both - we support even our normal staff with substantial pay - as compensation for the risk that is involved in the painting off the cliffs.

we give acomodation to our best managment staff only if we need to bring them in from across the country. Curently our top manager is from Hull and is giving us advice on the painting of the Hull cliffs.

Well I would be interested, if there is pension support and the possibility of a lease car from the firm...

We have a pension plan yes - there is no need for a lease car as we supply Whitecliff Maintenance vans.

My details are in trust if you want to enquire more.

Nickxx what is the hourly rate for this job or do you get paid for how much square foot of the cliff you paint during a days work?

We are paid on a salary basis. We are expected to paint a certain area per day but it does not always go to plan. As a senior manger i would like to think it was highly competitive.

Sounds like a very interesting job indeed.

What are job prospects like? Do I need any specific qualifications?

It's not the easiest as some might lead you to believe, but no specific qualifications are needed. We will train you from day one, and set you up for the necessary skills for life.

You should use hammerite , will stop the rust.

haha, that link is great

If the Nazis were to ever find out that we had cheated to win the war, by painting our " Cliffs of Dover " white, then we would be disqualified. And we would have to either surrender and start speaking German, or have the war again. But if we can keep it quiet for another few months then we win by default anyway

Perhaps you could paint them black? Why white? As an immigrant, i find this to be a blatant racial attack. The Coloured Cliffs of Dover has a nice ring, don't you think?

They used to paint them white but since the PC brigade got involved they now paint them very Bright Cream

They are made of chalk and limestone which are white.
