LONDON -- Sadly, London's nightlife seems to be dying a slow and tragic death.

The city's mayor, Sadiq Khan, wants to come to its rescue by advertising for a "night czar" -- and whatever such a tyrannical-sounding role entails has set off people's imaginations.

An increasing number of London's most iconic nightclubs are closing their doors, reflecting the steady decline of the UK's nightclub scene over the past 10 years.

Indeed, almost half of Britain's nightclubs have shut their doors in the last decade. Just this week, a petition to save beloved London venue Fabric from closure gained more than 20,000 signatures.

Khan wants to change all that by hiring a czar to address London's nightlife. The role carries a salary of £35,000 per annum and requires 2.5 days' work a week. That's a pretty sweet deal, tbh.

According to the job posting, the night czar will "shape London’s future as a 24-hour city" and "champion the value of London’s night time culture".Naturally, people on Twitter are highly amused by the job's title.

Some feel the role has eery qualities...

People are generally in agreement, though, that the job title has a nice ring to it.
