LONDON (Reuters) - Calling all chocoholics. One of Britain's most exclusive grocery stores needs a new chocolate taster -- and will pay 35,000 pounds ($54,400) a year for the successful candidate.
Fortnum & Mason in London's Piccadilly -- one of the capital's most prestigious addresses -- is looking for a chocolate buyer to travel the world, taste as much chocolate as possible and select only the best for its discerning customers.
Friday's Daily Telegraph newspaper said the Fortnum's personnel director Cathy O'Neill has already been bombarded with applications after she advertised the post as the "best job in the world."
But not all of those interested have the right qualifications.
"We only advertised it Sunday," O'Neill told the Telegraph. "But already we have we have had loads of people writing in saying they have absolutely no experience, or they work in the metal industry or something, but they love chocolate."
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.
If I lived in Britain, I would take the job. Or at least apply. Except I would have to work out every moment I wasn't at work to keep my girlish figure. Hmmm.
Fook! Im in the north east of england.... Im going to London.. I gained a stone once for eating thorntons chocolate.... damn, I gotta stop the chocolate addiction

Eh; one note... these jobs are rarely as glamorous as one might believe... tastetesters for one need a very good, discriminating taste, and are usually required to write detailed papers on the subjects.
