WAKE-UP CALL ($70,000 – $75,000)

In 18th century Britain, alarm clocks were a luxury (but they were still unreliable and quite expensive!) Nevertheless, people had to make sure they woke up on-time to get to work!

So, what did they do?

Well, they did what everyone else in their neighbourhood was doing, silly!

They hired a ‘Knocker-Upper’.

The Knocker-Upper’s job was to walk up and down the street, rousing his clientele from their slumber.

This individual would carry a baton and knock on clients’ doors.

For those clients who lived on higher floors, they’d use a long bamboo stick, to reach their bedroom windows.

The Knocker-Upper wouldn’t leave until they were certain their client had climbed out of bed.

In return for his services, the Knocker-Upper was paid a few pence per week. What we’re left wondering is – whose job it was to wake the Knocker-Upper?

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
