Applications for a general-goods shop on a remote Canadian island have been going through the roof after the owners offered willing punters two acres of land and a job to move there.
The Farmer's Daughter Country Market on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia put out an advert for budding workers who were not out for much money but "lots of land".
That two acres of land would be forever granted to those who work more than five years at the Country Market. Not shabby at all.

So far, there have been 3,500 applications.
The Facebook post read: "We are an established business in the heart of Cape Breton, rich in jobs, land, and potential, but no people."
"Are you someone who is looking to live a simpler life, close to nature, in an area that still believes in community meals and weekly jam sessions?

"We can't give you big money, but we can give you an awesome life. We are looking for people who are environmentally conscious, want to be part of a community and will see our business not as you work for us, but we all work together to create something to be proud of.
"If you take pride in being friendly, helpful, and positive and have skills in the food industry or customer service, then you are who we are looking for."
The advert said the population of the island was decreasing and corporate development "had been seen as the solution in the past" but it would have come "at the expense of our environment".
Any of you lads live in Nova Scotia or thereabouts? Go for this one if so. I would.
