Walkover
Hi,
“Picking strawberries for money doesn’t sound like a walkover.”
I’m not sure if I can use ‘walkover’ if the work isn’t easy. I know that people say that in terms of competitions to describe an easy victory.
It doesn’t sound quite right here, but I can’t really think of anything else off the top of my head. I’m pretty sure that there’s a particular phrase for what I’m trying to say. I must have forgotten it though (‘piece of cake’ is close).
Thank you.

This is the first time I've ever heard of 'walkover'. It must be a British specialty.
