p. One of the hidden gems of Radio 4 is a "World in Your Ear":http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/aworldinyourear.shtml. The series brings together the cream of English language radio from around the world. Each programme has a theme, and this week's was jobs. You get such a varied an interesting view of the world: one fascinating piece from a radio station in the States (I missed the station name) involved a presenter asking various people what they would rather do as a job. So, the first guy was a cellist in an orchestra, but really wanted to be a tug-boat captain. The presenter then called a tug-boat captain, who had a longing to run a cajun restaurant. He then spoke to a woman running a cajun restaurant who had always wanted to run a dog day-care center... You get the idea. In fact, the chain broke when they got to the dog day-care center, as canine care assistants seem to be an unusually contented lot.
p. If you're squeamish, don't read the rest...
