Any ex scouts out there remember doing bob a job. I wonder what the equivalent is now. I suppose its a least a couple of quid.

Kelvin Mackenzie from the Daily Mail wrote this yesterday :-

Some months back, while walking my dog through local woods I was appalled at the volume of litter, especially the plastic bottles which even an anti-greener like me acknowledges would comfortably see me out before disintegrating. So I had a choice: either start picking the stuff up myself (me with all my back issues, time issues, idleness issues) or hiring someone to do it.

After a brief wrestle between conscience and wallet, I am pleased to announce that on May 30, cubs from the 1st Weybridge will sweep though the trees carrying all before them. All for a donation of £150. Why don’t you track down your local cubs through Google (or just contact your local Catholic priest — sorry, that’s a cheap gag and unworthy of me) and I am sure they would love to turn out if the money is right.

Bob-a-Job is gone, but Do-a-Job by the hard-up cub troops is just beginning.

Getting back to Tesco, its not uncommon to see the local scouts etc at the end of the till run packing ones bags for a few bob, once in a while.....

Knowing Tesco, they'd get them working on the tills before long.

I was in the Cubs and remember well doing 'bob a job'.

Seems more fun in the Scouts now. Is it too late to get my breast exam ?
