Chessington World of Adventures ‘robot panda operator’ job is full of un-bearable puns

Do you like bamboo? Are you colour blind? Then Chessington World of Adventures would like to you to operate their new robot pandas, reports the Surrey Comet.

Chessington put a pun-laden advert on social media, while a spokesman described it as “arguably the greatest job in the world.” Although some people might argue that spending all day sweating inside a robot panda suit is far from the greatest job in the world.
