Bobbi Brown is a very busy man. He is 60 years old and he has eleven jobs. He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school- bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman, and an undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.
Bobbi lives and works on the island of Gigha in the west of Scotland. Only 120 people live on Gigha but in the summer, 150 tourists come by boat every day.
Every weekday, Bobbi gets up at 6.00 and makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00, he drives the island’s children to school. At 9.00, he collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all the house on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island’s only pub. Then he helps Margaret in the shop.
He says, “ Margaret likes being busy, too. We never have holidays and we don’t like watching television. In the evenings, Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00, we go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”
