I'd need to be suicidal to do that. Have a client who does these type of deliveries, the pressure is immense for very little reward

DARTS ace Mervyn King is delivering one hundred and eighty Amazon parcels a day.

The star, with career earnings of £1.7million, has doubled up with the driving job as contests were axed.

World number 22 King now gets £120 a day delivering up to 200 packages.

Among items sold by Amazon include a set of his own darts range — starting at £29.99.

King, 54, arrived for his job induction at an industrial estate in Norwich last week in his BMW M6 Coupe.

He gets to work each day at 8.50am and loads up a Mercedes Vito van. His shift ends at around 5pm.

A colleague said: “It was quite a shock seeing such a well-known sports star packing up his van with parcels. I imagine there will have been a few punters doing a double-take when top darts pro Mervyn King rings their doorbell with a delivery. But fair play to him. It would have been easy to sit around doing nothing but he obviously likes the idea of getting out of the house and earning some money and doesn’t care who sees him.”
Fair play to Merv.

Having earned £1.7 million he needs to do £120 a day. Something doesn't add up
1.7m spread across what like 25 years? Minus taxes, I don't think it's at all unrealistic to think he is in need of the money.

Read the whole thing if interested. I've cut out a part about the Matchplay.

PDC Chief Exec gives the latest on new-look World Matchplay and fate of the Premier League
https://metro.co.uk/2020/07/02/pdc-chie ... -12935857/
‘It will look like the Matchplay in terms of the set and we will have visual and audio enhancements to make an atmosphere,’ explained Porter.

‘It’s to make it watchable for the TV audience and make it easy for the players to play with the same level of concentration and adrenaline as they would have on stage at the Winter Gardens.

‘That’s very important, they need to be able to focus. You don’t want people accusing them of treating it like practice.

‘Some people in football have said they have been like training matches [since the restart] and we don’t want that at the darts.

‘We’re doing everything we can to make it as realistic as possible.’
