I had to walk around a shopping centredressed as a giant green bottle for an entire Saturday to promote recycling while all the pikey kids kicked me up the arse. However, I did get 6 hundred quid for it (I also made the costumes).

Erm, maybe at homeIt was about nine years ago. I had to do four costumes: a bottle, a giant heap of rubbish, a litter bin and a filled bin bag. My girlfriend at the time wore the binbag one and as soon as the pikey kids realised there was a girl in there they started trying to grab her tits through the eyeholes. So she had a worse day than me in the end. The guy who was in the litterbin spent the whole day chatting up a girl dressed as a bunny rabbit who was working for someone else and kept trying to pinch her tail.

I had to do Bertie BassettMy mum begged me for a week when I was about 14 or 15 to stand outside her newsagents with a bertie bassett suit on and a rattling tin for the local hospice. I had the head welded all day to save an eternity of embarrasement.

Cha-ching!I spent a happy few hours dressed as a slot machine in order to promote a particularly iniquitous (and utterly shit) gambling den in King's Lynn, Norfolk. On dole day. It was absolutely soul destroying watching grey faced proles emptying their wallets in the faint hope of winning twenty quid on a fruity.
Still, for £10 an hour, I could deal with it...
(I also worked in McDonald's for a year: no stars, got sacked when a customer told us there was a rat in the restaurant and I asked how they would like it cooked. Happy days.)
