| Getting paid to drink LONDON (Reuters) - Found: drinking companions to join elderly gentleman for a friendly beer at his local pub. Mike Hammond was bombarded with offers after advertising in his village post office for someone to accompany his 88-year-old father Jack on visits to a southern England pub from a nursing home. He offered the lucky winner 7 pounds ($14) an hour plus expenses and, after sifting through the applicants, decided on a job-share. Drinking duties are to be divided between a retired doctor and a former military man. "Dad's now going to be going down to the pub several times a week -- three with his new friends and twice with me," Mike Hammond told The Times on Thursday. "I want to give him some of his old life back." ---- Original Article: Getting paid to drink | Oddly Enough | Reuters News Source: World News, Business News, Breaking US & International News | Reuters.com
