Working in a coal mine… difficult to get away from that where I lived.

Though the actual quiz has me down as a leech collector. Perhaps I would have been a leech collector in the pits.

Scullery maid. I don't think so but most of my female relatives of the correct period did spend some time in service. x42

Slum landlord as well. Although, unlike a lot of others, I could quite easily have done my actual job in the C19th, as insurance underwriting when I started in the early 1970s was still pretty Victorian in its outlook!

Dustman. Figures. I'm a cop now so being a dustman isn't so much different.

The survey says matchmaker… I'm pretty sure that I am more cc likely to have been "town drunk," "village idiot," or "court jester." Yes, I am aware the latter was largely extinct by Victorian times, but you never know…
Supercilius Maximus	11 Apr 2016 11:16 a.m. PST
Leech collector.

The quiz says leech collector, but I always sort of fancied myself as a Resurrectionist.
