By accident, I met one at a party and the job seemed interesting.

Getting people to look after your feet. Nobody ever tells you how to cut your toes carefully! They can grow into the skin and this happens a lot especially to teenage boys! But don't worry too much about Verrucaes, look at our web page for more information.

I really like the people, helping them with their problems and sorting them out.
