Anyone applied? Would suit me being single with no commitments but at 64 next month doubt I would be considered.

Go for it..I bet you've got a lot of experience,we've just taken on a 62 year old, who has not worked in two years,mind you until a week ago he'd not been outside his home

Long story..!

Age should not be a barrier.

I see the advert earlier as long as your able and energetic as they ask I dont see why age is a factor.

I see they're offering two meals a day, full travel reimbursed but try to limit it to every four weeks Korda tackle to the tune of £250 per week and 28 nights fishing (which I assume is the pay per say for your time) only thing it doesn't mention is accommodation 4 weeks in a bivvy would be testing but I'm sure the bailiffs would have accommodation of some sort onsite or nearby.

In tackle... 12h of work min and after that you can go and lay down in your bivvy and cast rods out all that for some tackle... looks like a bargain Those romanian workers in the fields have got it better.... Really wonder if Danny really knows about and agrees with these terms...

If you're fit and healthy, don't mind living as a bank tramp, and have enough money to cover your commitments at home. Go for it. I suspect only the younger among us would be able to commit to it. Unless you are sitting on a nest egg. No pun intended.

Just found the below online.
That on top of what they are offering would be a good deal

On May 1, 2022, the French minimum wage has increased by 2.65 %.

The minimum hourly gross wage is now at €10.85, representing a monthly wage of €1,6045.58 on a weekly basis of 35 hours.

I see absolutely no reason why a 64 yr old who has the right level of experience shouldn't be considered. The retirement age in this country will probably be seventy plus if I get there. I work on sites with plenty of blokes in their sixties still doing physical work. I say go for it if it suits your lifestyle. You only live once.

And the 250 of weekly tackle you get probably costs korda about 30 quid or less even! And how much money do korda make...

If the salary is so low I would hate to think what the two meals a day comprise of.

Pan fried carp served with mixed roasted vegetable flavoured boilies (Mainline obviously) and a rich Goo demi-glace. Breakfast is sugared tiger nuts with milk.

My Uncle n Aunt ,employed older staff on their fishery ,these staff had a wealth of knowledge, and great interaction with guests,some of whom remained friends..

There's a lot of perceived ageism, to be honest a lot of younger anglers/bailiffs don't have the life skills and conversation, ability that older and more relaxed people have,not in all cases ,but some..

Like I mentioned,go for it Goose..if you don't like it,you can always come home to 'dog eat dog UK'...

I imagine its only really suitable for youngsters who still live with mummy and daddy, or someone retired with no mortgage. Cant imagine anyone who needs to work to pay rent, mortgage etc being able to do it, i certainly couldnt
Are you sure?
