A pal said: “Times are tough and no one can be snobby about work.

“Ray is a hard-grafting lad, and naturally loves being on the move, doing things and seeing people.

“He feared getting bored so applied for a job with Hermes and has been dropping off packages ever since.

"It’s kept him busy and he’s really popular — especially with fans who want a selfie.”
