Mickey Finn 3,014 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 i think everybody should have to work until there 67 as i have to. fire men should do the job until not fit to then get a job selling veg or factory work etc like the rest of the population.. dont think im not greatfull for the job you do as i am but you chose it to save lives i hope and not just for good pay and short working life.. just find another job if your not happy with pay and hours etc thats what i must do You do sound ungrateful. Also you view of work life is a little confusing to say the least. You seem to be saying do for us then get lost. ATB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Different on the old plastering, you can take on smaller jobs and do less of it as you get older if you were sensible enough to make some hay when the sun was shining.. You don't get to take on the smaller fires or just stick to rescuing Tiddles from the roof in the fire brigade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 would like to think there were still fit at 50 onwards with all the training facilitys they have at there place of work or should i say gym It ain't all about muscular strength, certain parts of the body start failing as you get on mate, it's a fact. Joints like the knee which do a lot of work aren't designed by nature to last much longer than your 30's because for most of the time humans have been around the life expectancy was somewhere in the 20s. It ain't worth evolving body parts that are going to last twice as long as you live for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
