8 Britain's most unusual jobs

What are the weirdest, most wonderful and most unexpected jobs from across Great Britain? Get your CV and letter of recommendation ready because one of these might be for you!

1. Number 1 is a guard at the Tower of London, called a Yeoman Warder. There are twelve Yeomen Warders. They are responsible for looking after any prisoners at the Tower and the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction. The name Beefeater is likely to have originated from the 18^th century, when the Yeomen Warders were paid part of their salary with chunks of beef.

2. Apparently, number 2 is the Raven master. Legend says that if the Ravens ever leave the Tower of London, the whole Kingdom will fall. So to make sure the birds are happy and well looked after, the tower appoints a raven master. Although it sounds like a great job, it's not easy. One of the requirements is more than two decades experience in the military and five further years of training to become the dedicated Raven watcher.

3. You may have heard that the Queen owns all the swans in Britain. She hires a swan marker to watch over them all. The swan marker arranges the annual Swan upping, which gathers together all the swans on the River Thames.

4. Scared of heights? Well, this is definitely not the job for you. The famous 540ft “Gherkin” building in the City of London has to have its windows cleaned – from the very top. One of the necessary jobs at the Gherkin is done by London window cleaners who clean all those outside windows. These brave souls use special ropes and harnesses and are like daredevils. The 744 windows on the Gherkin – an area equal to five soccer fields – take a team of nine men ten days to complete!

5. Number 5 is a professional tea taster that is one of the most British jobs on our list. Professional tea tasters have to train for five years to become the best in the business. They taste hundreds of teas every day to be capable of recognising thousands of flavours and characteristics. Some tea tasters even have their tongue insured for absurd amounts of money because of their importance. If you're the kind of person who drinks tea every day multiple times a day, this just might be your ideal job!

6. Number 6 is a professional queuer. Brits do love queues! You would probably be pretty surprised at how much you can get paid doing a job that really involves you waiting around all day. There are people that will hire you for a pretty good pay to queue for the latest tech, tickets or trainers, anything so that they don't have to. It sounds like a pretty sweet deal, but it takes plenty of patience.

7. Number 7 is the Queen's Piper. If you can play the bagpipes, you can get paid a high salary to play the pipes at the Queen's request. The musician has the honour of acting as a human alarm clock for Her Majesty every day. The Queen's Piper stands under the monarch's window at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Balmoral or Holyroodhouse and plays for 15 minutes, starting at 9 am.

8. Stylish number eight dog yoga instructor is a relatively new job compared to some of the others featured above. Growing its popularity, dog yoga or doga is a type of yoga when a dog acts as a partner to their human. The instructor's role is to ensure that the pet and the owner are having a perfectly relaxing experience.
