Unless you've actually worked in those conditions described, best stay quiet

T hatis my choice.
T hedifference is, I get home to sleep in the same bed as my wife, unlike Graham's description.
D idhe have it easier compared to how you used to work and I still do? I know I wouldn't of swapped places wd him.
Its no competition Jim, we are all hard workers, working for the greater good of our families

Never said it s a competition. Just responding to what Graham said.

I fyou were in the mob then say it.
A sfor the miners debacle, I forgot all about that
T hesun is shining Jim, its beautiful outside. Lighten up ah
Those were my hours too...7 days a week.
Most of my time in construction was spent as a tunneller on continental shifts, away from the family for months on end and doing hard graft.
Personally I think you're full of it.
My father was 30 years in the Royal Navy so I know all about that too.
He then taught for 15 years at the Army Apprentices college. That's the man who also taught ME the meaning of hard work. A man who served 6 years in a REAL war.
Sometimes my dad was away for up to a year at the other side of the world and my mother and us 4 kids managed. No internet or mobile phones either.
