Also, I mean... not to be flippant but... I think we also have to take the point of "it must be historically accurate!" with a pinch of salt. They put "chef" because I said "Err... cook or chef, I guess?". No one actually CHECKS, they just write it down.

If I'd said I was a lighthouse keeper, or a sheep pedicurist, they'd have put that on there .

In fact, I'm right now deeply regretting this missed opportunity.
