i thought we had the minimum wage system in this country...expecting someone to work for nothing is disgraceful

This is a post about an advert on Gumtree last year for helpers on the Penicuik estate.

The keeper who placed that ad is no longer with the estate and this offer has well expired. I spoke to the keeper last year about stalking and he had a couple of helpers (one form this site) but as I say , he has left and was never a member of this site anyway.
