Chimney sweep’s hilarious van signal providing free gruel to apprentices beneath six is a Fb hit
A chimney sweep’s tongue-in-cheek sign offering apprenticeships for under six’s with the chance to meet Dick van Dyke has become an online hit.
In the mock job advert, painted on the side of a van, free gruel is available for successful applicatants.
The amusing offer, the handiwork of Chimney Sweep Surrey , reads: “Six years or under?
“Join us as an apprentice in the exciting world of chimney sweeping.
“Free gruel whilst on duty and a great chance to meet Dick Van Dyke.”
A picture of the van appeared on Facebook , where it has provoked much hilarity.
It was posted under with the legend: “Looks pretty ordinary until you read the small print.”
One person commented: “I have an eight year old that needs to start earning his keep.
“Wonder if they’ll have him…”
Another added: “There used to be a chimney sweep in London whose business vehicle registration was 500T.”
Business boss David Mulligan, who painted the sign more than a year ago, says he has been “overwhelmed by the interest” since the pic appeared online .
It comes after a little boy’s humorous tampon comment in Waitrose caused a Facebook storm .
