dare 1,103 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 wouldnt dream of doing that job for 500 a week. Not sure if i could at all for any money. Would like to prehaps just try it to say i have and see what its like. Remember a program on bbc3 about toughest jobs and was on there and one bloke really took to it. Another episode was cleaning the windows of skyscrapers, lad from the army done well with it n got kept on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dare 1,103 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Money's shite feck that for the cash you earn I think that with the army aswell? im not anti army i think they should be paid more. I know people who i reckon would do well in the army tbh but they know they can earn more doing other stuff. Cut the aid to other countries and sort out our problems and increase the wages and change the laws to support em when back home in terms of housing and healthcare. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
