Tesco is advertising a vacancy for what is thought to be Britain’s first professional Christmas tree lights untangler.

 

The ideal candidate should be “persistent and patient” and able to untangle three metres of Christmas lights in less than three minutes.

 

The successful applicant will be based at a store in Wrexham, north Wales, where they can expect to untangle up to 60 sets of lights a day for frustrated customers...

I knew that there was a job out there that could utilise my untangling skills!

If I stick an LED to the spaghetti of cables we've got in various locations around the school, do you think said employee will untangle them for us?

I cannot think of a worse job in all the world. My aim in life is to earn enough money to be able to buy new Christmas lights every year and then throw the bloody things out come January.

After Christmas the applicant can come and work for us and have a go at our data cabinets

What a waste of our planet's resources! Won't somebody think of the children?
