Most people know its a tough job (I certainly couldn't do it), but so is working in a retirement home or behind a counter taking abuse from Joe Public on a daily basis.

In a past life I worked for the Press Association. Powerful editing is an interesting thing Mr G as I learned when i was with them.
I know that the reps talk about pay and conditions, but it's definitely an issue that needs to be tackled? I do agree however that some of them are not as Google Page Ranking savvy as their position in the media should decree, but there's considerably more to the agenda than gets reported. I know I'm beginning to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but loony lefties sell a lot of right wing columnage.
