Dream job

You know, except for the fact that I don't live in England, I think I'm damn well qualified for a job like this:
Found: drinking companions to join elderly gentleman for a friendly beer at his local pub.

Mike Hammond was bombarded with offers after advertising in his village post office for someone to accompany his 88-year-old father Jack on visits to a southern England pub from a nursing home.

He offered the lucky winner 7 pounds ($14) an hour plus expenses and, after sifting through the applicants, decided on a job-share. Drinking duties are to be divided between a retired doctor and a former military man.
He was "bombarded with offers" after advertising for a job where all you have to do is sit around and drink beer? You don't say.
