British Island Seeking New Pub Manager and Monarch
Piel Island is a 50-acre plot of land about a half mile off the northwest coast of England. You can get there by ferry, or, if the tides are right, by a sandwalk. The small island is home to the Shipp Inn, a castle from the 1300s, as well as seasonal camping grounds. And now the island is looking for a new person to manage the pub and take on the ceremonial title and rusty saber of king.
… The downside might be the uncertain weather, or the isolation, or the long hours. On the upside, you can watch seals and birds, enjoy stunning sunsets and, if you have self-esteem issues, know you really will be a king or queen. It would sort of be official. Whoever is in charge of the pub is crowned “King of Piel” in a ceremony involving a rusty sabre which concludes with buckets of beer being poured over their head.
