Match and Fable

THE ‘KNOCKER-UPPER’ ROLE (OTE: $150,000 – $160,000)

Match and Fable Inc. - barrie, Ontario, Canada

In 18th century Britain … alarm clocks were neither reliable … nor cheap!

Even so … people still had to make sure they woke up on-time to get to work!


So … what did they do?

Well … they did what all their neighbours were doing.
They hired a “knocker-upper” to rouse them from their slumber.

This individual would carry a baton and knock on clients' doors.
If clients lived on higher floors … they’d use a long stick … (often made from bamboo) to reach their bedroom windows.

The “knocker-upper” wouldn’t leave a client's window until they were certain their client had climbed out of bed.

In return, the knocker-up would be paid a few pence a week. Talk about a lousy job!?!?

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?  Well, nothing. Nothing at all.

This role is certainly not lousy … and the remuneration is a far cry from a few pence per week!
