Seumas Macsporran is a very busy man. He is 60 years old and he has thirteen jobs. He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a boat man, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman and an undertaker. Also, he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.
Seumas lives and works on the island of Gigha in the West of Scotland. Only 120 peole live in Gigha but in summer 150 tourists come by boat everyday.
Every weekday, Seumas gets up at 6.00 and makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 he drives the island's children to school. At 9.00, he collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all the house on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island's only pub. Then he helps Margaret in the shop.
He says: "Margaret likes being busy, too. We are never on holidays and we don't like watching TV. In the evenings, Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00 we have a glass of wine then we go to bed. Perhaps, our life isn't very exciting but we like it."
