THE great British public is officially working the longest hours in Europe but a Blackburn pub is urging local people to put it all into perspective.

O'Neill's in King William Street wants to raise a glass to all those who have escaped the trials and tribulations of their everyday jobs for pastures new.

Whether it was from accountancy to acupuncture or refuse collection to rocket science, Derbuil McAlinden, manager, wants to hear about the most remarkable career move in Blackburn.

And there is a meal for two with a bottle of wine on the house for the most bizarre tale.

Anyone who thinks their CV fits the bill can call into O'Neill's or call the hotline number on 0121 321 2326.
