It’s like when Benefits Street was on telly. And to some extent The Scheme, although some of the patter in that is fucking hilarious. Let’s all laugh at those less fortunate/struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should do a Caribbean special where people who avoid paying their taxes have their yachts confiscated, and their private planes and so on. Happy to watch that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an activities day and you had to rank the activities in order as not everyone could understandably go canoeing for example. I put pot-holing last and was shocked when they said they wanted everyone to do the activity they least wanted to do. It was actually fantastic but a few of the others I can recall screaming with fear as they believed they were stuck. I could never do it now and absolutely believe I would have a panic attack . I have had a few MRI scans on my back and if I ever need another one I am not so sure I could go through with it. As for the question - sewage treatment plant worker....or one of those guys who goes into drains to clear fat bergs...or worse Being a plant worker is nowhere near as bad as it sounds (no, it’s not what I do) as the infrastructure and machinery does the majority of the work, and less than 0.1% of what arrives is solid jobby. As per the latter part of your last paragraph, those are the folk with the really horrible job. That said, either job you’d be PPE’d from head to toe and the confined spaces are probably the worst bit. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If it's football jobs, I'd say Director of Football. You get to meddle in the transfers and pretend you're playing FM without any of the coaching guff, and if it all goes pear shaped someone else gets the sack. Then you get to hire Peter Grant just to see the fans faces light up with joy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a porter that used to talk to them when transporting them across to the morgue. Suppose whatever helps you deal with it mentally. When i first started, we used to wear a shirt and tie (now in polo shirts) but if i had the tie off, i always made sure i put it on to go and collect them, just as a little mark of respect and looking back it’s probably how i dealt with it as well. I know auxiliaries have been mentioned and their job I couldn't do, but staff nurse or ambulance/police/fire service are all ones I wouldn’t have the stomach for. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
