I wonder how many people who have this will also be keen on litter picking etc

Very few I'd have thought, good all rounders cost good money, but no doubt it's classed as a band C job... that's what the book says it pays.

When I was 22 I applied for several jobs like this, got to one interview and they decided I was over qualified. That's why I became self employed and never had a problem with litter picking, elsan emptying or drain cleaning.
