The supermarket where I am manager is in west London but I spend most of my time
travelling by road to Saver Mall supermarkets all over Britain. I need to see things in our
supermarkets. I also go to lots of meetings. My work hours change every week because Saver Mall is
open 24 hours a day.
Last week I worked from 3p.m to 11 pm but this week I need to be at work from 7 am to 3 pm.
The first thing I do each day is check my emails.

favourite part of the job. But I like my work in London, too. Travelling can be very hard work. When I
