It takes a certain mindset to be able to do it. I may not be physically tired when I get home but I can surely be mentally drained. I do have respect for those who work in physical jobs but please don't think that their work is somehow superior. It takes a whole lot of people to make this world go round and without the order and planning labourers would rarely do an efficient job. Likewise how would a builder know what to build without an architect sitting on his arse and drawing the plans.

Sorry dont mean that your job is less superiour to others or anything like that i just mean what i said doin the job daddiboo does is so much more physically more demanding and in return i know that he will be dead before getting his pension at 67 where as you probably would'nt be, i just dont think its fair that knowing this the government could still up the age as people say it should be equal, and by that i mean that it should be at an age where he wont work himself into an early grave!
I certainly do not mean to say you dont know how to do the job you are doing and its like you say if the architect didnt have all his little people running around doing the sh*t jobs for him then nether would the job get done so you see as it works vice versa.
I know daddiboo could not do your job without the correct training but neither could you do his job without the correct training and the physical side well lets say i dont know many people who can do his job and stick at it!
