The Toff’s B&Q

Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne, he of the black doll’s eyes, metallic voice and shifty name change (he was born Gideon) is famously heir to the family’s posh wallpaper business, Osborne & Little.

By way of a pointless diversion, they are currently advertising for an assistant manager for their King’s Road showroom.

‘Experience within a fabric/ furniture (trade and/or retail) environment and the ability to deal with people at all levels is essential. Candidates should be highly organised, well presented with an outgoing personality and strong admin skills.’

So there you go. Form an orderly queue.

Wonder if they have to draw up an A list of candidates for interview?

Why said advert is on page 22 of this morning’s Media Guardian is a bit of a puzzle...
