Do You Have a Job for Me?

The fella on the left (in this photo from many years ago) recently joined the ranks of the unemployed. If you can name the van he's on, kudos! What I'm looking for in this puzzle is the line of work these gents were pursuing at the time the picture was taken. 

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply with your answer.  You can do so by clicking here.

Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier. :D

Thanks!

A Mini van; as for the guy, is he British? A politician?

I had Mr Blair in mind – not interested enough in British politics to be able to tell if he has moved out of no 10 Downing Street yet...

Oh that's too interesting. It DOES look like Tony Blare.  Which means the vehicle is probably a Bedford or some such.

Although, frankly, this pair looks more like ax murderers or gigolos. Or both.  One can be fairly sure they DID inhale and they DID enjoy it!    ;D

Is that Albright, former head of HBO?

He was - but he aspired to more, relative to that industry - can you tell me, to what?

I think it's a Ford Thames van.

Apparently Mr Blair had ambitions of being a rock promoter:

LOCATING A HISTORIC VEHICLE: Prime Minister Tony Blair's Rock Van
We were contacted by a TV Production Company who were going to make a programme about Prime Minister Tony Blair's pre-university period when he was heavily into trying to become a rock promoter-star. During this period he purchased a Thames van to move the group Jaded round gigs. TV people were trying to find if the van was still around so they could use it in the programme. Regretfully we could not help and eventually a similar white van was used in the programme on Channel 4.
