Why Being A Water Caddy Was A Truly Awful Job | Worst Jobs In History | Timeline

our nation's history has been built not just by leading characters making big political decisions but by a huge supporting cast of ordinary men and women prepared to do some really lousy jobs this time breaking your back to quench the city's first Oh earning your toes to keep the traffic moving oh and the utter tedium of making the building blocks of the urban landscape welcome to the worst job in the city [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] today 90% of us live in cities it wasn't always like that in the Middle Ages most of Britain was town slowly grew as people came together to make money by trading or to earn money by looking after the traders cities are artificial aren't they if you're in the country then you can live off the land but in the town everything has to be brought in and provided for you even water nowadays we get our water from the tap but for hundreds of years thousands of people living in cities had no running water why do today most of us have a slurp on one of these occasionally don't we but it's no problem mind you if you've ever carried a party pack of the stuff around you'll know how bad this next worst job can be is the back-breaking task of being a water caddy water patties had been around since the 1500s but by the Georgian times up to a quarter of the population had flocked to the cities which still had no running water 18th century Edinburgh presented the water caddies with their ultimate challenge its buildings were up to eight stories high of course the first thing that the water caddy had to do was fill up his caddy with water presumably list there must have been loads of Wells dotted all over the city wasn't because then when they brought water in here in 1681 they only put five of these wells in the whole length of the high street or how many people about 30,000 people so this is what I carry the water around it that's right this is what the watch our caddies carry them around can I fill it from here no one but that's not there anymore so it's gonna be this is going to have to be that could you hold me back the maths is simple 12 2 litre bottles of water weighs 24 kilos plus the barrel that's over 30 kilos of weight I've got to carry on my back Liz it's it's choking me there's leather this leather strap yet to pull stop away from your face yeah how far did I go well the High Street and Hall went for the high street and then of course [Music] many of the caddies were ex-soldiers but this was an equal-opportunity worst job as their wives also did this back-breaking target no no see you later my muscles are screaming after 10 minutes but the watercad is to keep going for hours [Music] like me they left a trail of water behind but it was important not to lose too much they were paid her barrel to earn a maximum wage of three shows a day I had to make a staggering of 36 trips either going great I've got water dripping down the back the muscles are aching I've got a permanent stick you know the cat is never recognized for a permanent stupid - priceless that will be a shilling a fine for swearing two shillings if you argued with somebody up at the well and as much as six shillings if you made a nuisance of yourself just going straight on see you later up there rode the corner nearly there I never thought I'd make it oh now this would be your regular route because each caddy had the same houses that they serve so you have in the habit of coming up this steep route because it's awful I'm afraid not because you see the parade live down in the ground floor because it was smelly and it was overcrowded the mental classes the people you were bringing the water for you lived up the stairs so I'm afraid it's up the stairs you have to go don't you just tell me that No [Music] [Music] well I may have risked a crick neck and a slipped disc in a hernia but in my next worst job I risk death by the centuries the greatest risk to life in the city with these pressures people crammed into multi-story buildings would patch and open fires created a live in tinderbox it wasn't until the 19th century that people organized an official force to find the ultimate urban nightmare if your idea of the fire service is brave bold heroes or heroines surrounded by high-tech equipment think again in days gone by firefighting really was a worse job smoke is one of the greatest dangers in a blaze today's crews have sophisticated breathing apparatus unlike the early firefighters who had to trust in a silly hat a piece of hose and the cunny and there's a penance board is this a bellows yep the basic bellows individual outside called the bellows boy with pump that force air through the hose into the buyers and allow the firefighter to breathe clean air does it get it done what easy these two things yeah yeah yeah oh okay see ya can you shut the windows right we're going in you know what's really horrible is that I can only see from here upwards below there's nothing when you go into that smokey building yeah the only sense you can really rely on is feel you can feel the heat you need to feel your way around the building and keep as low as you possibly can if possible below the smoke layer we're going in then you go people oh and I do the village oh well anything at all this turn of the century breathing system was relatively sophisticated when captain Shaw founded the fire service in 1865 his men had none they relied on natural pluck and big mustaches which they grew to cover their mouths they'd hold their breath and run into blazes earning the title Smoke Eaters I can just make out this world here now I don't know how I would be able to rescue anybody but haven't seen them get out now oh yeah here we go hey you know that wasn't nearly as bad as I feared it would be are you gonna fit hell well yeah that was actually much better than I thought it would be but there's something about that fresh air coming all the time that is really reassuring the bigger risk is the further you go in the heart of the bellows boy I had to pump yeah any debris that falls on the hose in there immediately cuts off your air supply yeah and it's not unknown for a perhaps roofing materials to fall down the bellows boy to leave the post and again your ears cut off I was feeling really secure Chili's top realtor but the high-rise City when the firefighters job would even worse if you think it was bad walking into a smoking building with only a hose to prevent you from being asphyxiated imagine what it must have been like outside the building fair enough the fires tended to start down the bottom but as the building's went higher so did the flames and unfortunately so did the firemen when did this kind of ladder come in which is called the hook letter Tony and it was introduced into service in the UK from about 1900 first developed in France pull that out there okay and then you would scale the outside of the building going up one floor at a time spinning that around smashing any windows to put that in the window and hook on the seal and you'd climb up each floor progressively almost limit this as high as the building well okay should we ever go on this Oh coach put it down we'll stop all right I'll get start properly okay yeah we'll turn it over but this bits called the bill yeah returning over and resting on that yeah okay come to you soon right what you have to do is grip that with your hand this is the third now just grip that under there you call that around on a rung yeah they tell me that bills are rung ladders and rams are climbed okay I mean lifting it up you'll be pushing with that one pulling with this one to the building that's secure so that yeah it's me right I'll get kitted up Pete I've got my rig got me mini camera so you can see the terror on my faces of it very safe like it I only enjoyed the luxury of 16 weeks training so just take it at your own speed conserve your energy because when you get to the top you may will have to bring someone down on your shoulders leg up it's actually dangerous well I'm still 1956 tyranny they were six deaths it amusing this yes we're all in the training centre now operationally and this is the training centre this is the training centre but rest assured that if you use this in anger yeah rescue / position Morris assured at the middle run little sorry in 1960 up to the top floor of a burning building in its local asthma carried two children out on one of these ladders lifts on a clear the hook yeah right now turn the ladder outwards yeah and now gradually easing up to the next floor like god is heavy it's like half the building that's it keep going all the way once you're clear the seal swing the hook back in and let the ladder rest on the sill load up live it now ease yourself around to the front of the ladder and put your left foot on the ground above your right well we're gospel do that until you've got your white Center on the ladder Tony take it nice and easy that's it note down the date down of it that's it you there oh yeah all right off we go going nice and slowly Oh point left leg swing it into the building Oh Oh there we've got that tiny well done now I'll go rescue someone from a blazing building but actually all I feel like doing is having a nice lie down cool but firemen didn't have the riskiest jobs in the city Dockers did our major cities grew because of train made possible by access to big rivers on the sea at the heart of this trade were the docks by 1900 the busiest of them all were in London a fifth of all Londoners works keeping this heart of the British Empire beating [Music] after mining and deep-sea fishing Dockers had the most industrial injury danger came in many forms like the grain Porter's who risked suffocation as they worked in grain stores and ships holes you probably can't see it but there's actually two articulated vehicles and a load of lads working at the far end of this warehouse but the crafty invisible it's like a London smog here because of all the dust that's kicking up it's very very much so you can imagine how dusty it would have been on a bulk brain ship when those cargoes have been discharged by hand or using old mechanical sort of grab elevators and later on of course suction elevators the whole - just being blown up and getting your eyes getting your hair get down your throat in particular very very sort of difficult cargoes to work you're working against time you're working with cargo so none of dusty but very very hot by nature as well Collett is this stuff huh come and have a feel I mean you know this is I think probably malted barley it smells like it put your handed it is it's really nice got about 10 degrees in there yeah you also notice that we're sinking as well yeah so if you're working down in a hold it just very hard to climb up in the hold of a ship laughs but it's black walking on very very soft sand yeah you could sink up to your waist so the guys who worked on board ship usually wrap sacking from their knees round their feet they were cooked Oh rakes they did that to stop the brain getting into their trousers something's very spiky tow-rax tow ropes yes what we used to call thieves would have a strong London that's right it feels up here so you could just be sucked down into it well you could you be very careful we were working obviously in ships especially if the pneumatic sort of elevates is sucking out the grain very very rapidly through very large diameter sort of hoses you weren't very careful you could find that the area around you is being sort of sapped away and rather like being sort of caught in an undercurrent on the NSE you could be sucked under and the train around you could topple in on you so there's a danger of sort of suffocation so not always a nice cargo to work I'll tell you what the one thing that I noticed more than anything else about this job is this flipping dust we've only been doing it for about a couple of minutes and already it's in my eyes in my throat I won't have a good cuff up this is not a job that I would recommend it [Music] [Music] the port throw that plenty of worst jobs whether it was carrying rotting meat or bales of sugar that rubs your skin raw unpleasant cargoes like land black could turn you black from if that wasn't enough many doctors risked being crushed by falling cargo so strangely one of the most dangerous jobs was also one of the most skilled and it was a job that was around down the docks until the middle of the 20th century Ron you were a deal porter when you were a lad weren't you when I was 20 yes what was deal and how did you port it deal is timber yeah that shipped in on the boats yeah and once it's on the keys yeah we took you from A to B so you just lifted this up lift it up how do you carry it I'll carry it with I'm the shoulder yeah where this yeah so this is really what you'd have worn yes this is a back of hat a wireless a backing hat backing that and it would have protected your shoulder and stopping all the sawdust going down inside the neck go then shut I do it how I do it Osby shoulder I'll bend down yeah then if you don't got the middle you just push it forward like that push it forward here and then you run up the oh we have to run yes this is some how you would do it actually but you'd have been carrying more than one head more than money about three yeah look at that lady have me head off their house cuz the docks would have been much more crowded in those two oh yes Ashley what was so dangerous about it well if you missed you miss your footing yeah you'd fall and it would it wouldn't it wouldn't be on the flat like this is yeah it would be you down a syriza what they call horses trestles yeah going up no going up and up until you go up to the top so you'd go right away after the top of something like that those eyes those over there yes so how many of those do you reckon you but you would have been likely to carry at a time it would have been about as May is the chap who's out there there's no secret LDAP he's then you carry on the shoulder the deal Porter's carried up to forty kilos of timber at a time twenty feet above ground precariously balancing on a plank the size of a gym masters beam one slip or gust of wind meant a fall straight onto the concrete pillow many doctors worked a special labor but deal Porter's had to trade even a single plank at low level requires skill and concentration but without the risky job of deal porting the city would have been starved of one of the essentials of the building trade [Music] at the 18th century saw the Industrial Revolution transform Britain's landscape huge building boom turned villages into cities as a million people moved from country to town this expansion needed a chief building materials bricks were cheap but the process of making them was far from cheerful the 18th century was the heyday of the poor old bugger the lowest of the low in the tedious business of brick production they used to make these things like well one at a time in a box mould with soft squidgy clay that they were just flinging into the mould one at a time but during the expansion of the big citizen the 18th or 19th centuries they must have needed thousands of these millions millions upon millions I mean it is the staple of British building at the brick because it's an easy thing to make an easy thing to handle so what kind of clay was it that they use Oh mud soft mud like clay like that stuff over here it did you'd have in the fields lay it down like that in the late summer autumn the winter would get at it and the frost had break it down and make it into a soft mud like consistency they didn't take it into under sun cover and make it into the finer clay that we want to throw into the mould is this pugging pugging is the preparation of the clay yes and the final part is actually treading it's rather laborious thing of treading it to get it into a nice muddy state he's gonna teach me to be a little bugger right so jumping well we don't jump here we just sort of try to read out some march up and down rather than dance around frantically so I think we would want to try and get some order in the yes see we are mixing it up this this is prep any late stage we're doing this now who are the people who would have done this well the chaps would have done this the laborers yeah they'd have the body weight to to make it worthwhile you wouldn't want anybody frail doing it and slight are children or small women mainly women worked on the molding side they were throwing the clay into the molds and what the children have only worth hand the children would probably be taking large lumps of play to those who were in so they could be carrying up to six or seven kilos perhaps even more very hard long hours then certainly as far as the children are concerned bit of exploitation there I think should we say this is done I think so I think that's pretty pretty well for which I think the circulations get stopped absolutely yeah Oh rolling it's like that after all that hugging the clay was thrown into molds form vertically down Oh chuck it in here yeah that's exactly right yeah every brick was made like this I left it all it took 40 thousand to build one house oh that would have been put out in the field for that six weeks let the Sun in the air the wind dry it off yeah we need to put it in the kiln then fire it for a week or so fire would go out at the end of the day we'd have a brick like that actually very similar cuz it got cooler knocked off that one that wasn't just me I reckon my great-grandfather did that one [Music] making bricks meant getting your feet mucky for a living it was still better than a job dedicated to keeping people's shoes [Music] cities didn't stop growing after the Industrial Revolution London's population would reach from a million in 1800 to four and a half million in 1880 it wasn't just the biggest city in Britain it was the biggest foot world's ever seen and he wasn't just teeming with humans there was only one form of horsepower transport and that was or rather thousands and thousands and of course every horse had its own active valves which meant the floater flew all over the place so you weren't just dodging the horse and carts you were dodging all the stuff that they left behind them you imagine what the state of these streets would have been it would have been virtually impossible to get across particularly if you got nice clothes on if you're a fine lady with a long coat and her long dress so the city threw up another worst job which was crossing sweeper so am I allowed to do this absolutely but in order to maintain your right to do so you have to do it regularly some people actually married to claim a single crossing for 10 20 30 years and to make a good living out of it well this is my first morning so careful what sort of people did this the poorest of the poor mainly the elderly and young children a lot of disabled people a lot of a lot of people who couldn't get any other kind of work it really was on the edge of begging one group who were regularly identified as trophy sweepers for black refugees from the American Revolution ex-slaves who ended up in London with no settlements no place to go and no employment it's mainly young people um they ran across the whole gamut of ages from 12 year olds food 90 year old someone typical might be someone like William Donovan yeah who was 19 years old lived in a common lodging house with 98 other people in Massillon streets in London he would have earned just a few pence a day taking care of owning a particular crossing no Italian over you come pretty good I think for first turn after how much did I get for this she's loved a farthing hey pants a penny a penny lucky you got something but the important thing is you couldn't actually ask for it it had to be in the form of a tip if you ask for it that became begging and you were subject to the vagrancy laws second advertised well you could advertise by for example writing signs in the in the manure itself or perhaps making little sculptures in it besides well the 19th century equivalent of hungry and homeless please help you could say god bless the poor or god bless the Queen there are examples of people creating anchors and flowers oh that's nice isn't it Oh though I have to be honest it wasn't that difficult a job that's what made it so good for the disabled there are instances of frosting sweepers missing both lengths they're characters like Joe in Dickens Bleak House is essentially mentally but could still make a living a very meager living as a crossing sweeper hey smiley face like a debt is head I think so what was the downside you really knew that cross in sweeper when it was cold but it was wet what it was miserable and you didn't want to be on the street to yourself if you were in rags you were freezing something else they did was tumbling young boys in particular would tumble across this cross crossing in advance of the person they're leading across so in combination with your advertising and a bit of tumbling perhaps I think I'll just stick with a drawing for the moment I did do a pretty good job absolutely I'd cross on that [Music] but it wasn't just a horse boom that provided a living for those famous now people in cities kept dogs and there was dumb poo all over the place he wouldn't have thought would you that there'd be a a job where you could make good money collecting up this stuff but there was in the 19th century it was called the pure collector why pure well it's a bit of a joke it's ironic coming there's nothing particularly pure about this muck is there the dog nut was sold to tanners where it became basic in the tanning process and the pure collectors were usually elderly women who could make six or seven shillings a day doing this but mind you if you were really lucky you could get a contract with a local dog kennel in which case you could make up to ten Bob a day I'm just shudders on the ocean let's call this a day show the rise of Britain's cities also created whole new lifestyles people work different hours to their country counselors and they didn't always want to go home when it got dark in the backstreets gambling dens seedy drinking establishments and brothels flourished the 18th century also saw the rise of paid entertainment for the masses for being an entertainer is Georgian Britain especially woman as a tough sordid business people wanted cheap thrills and night out for the urban poor often men watching two people beating the living daylights out of each other but these weren't just Mike Tyson look-alikes welcome to the worst job of the fighting woman sorry where did these women find well they usually try to avoid the city fathers shall we say by fighting outside the city walls black friars dusters anywhere where the actual councilors couldn't get to touch them stop them carrying out their their activities and what sort of fighting did they do brutal harm swords access to bare-knuckle boxing wrestling twice for fearsome fighters can you show me a few other moves not personally no but I know later they've done Peter this way please [Music] really the kind of ties they would have wore absolutely yes I mean there was an advert nearly an 18th century describing just such clothes would have fought in a petticoat which wasn't an undergarment in those days who is actually part of the day-to-day attire so it would have been seen as anyway being sort of frivolous or naughty pictures quite a slight woman isn't she had imagined that they would be really burly well not really not you know every case in the same adverse but the English champion was described as being small and petite whereas the Irish chocolates bestride just being quite early so there were different sizes just as I dunno so we're doing bare-knuckle 13 genital fighting yes you're wearing is because they actually hired an efficient armed and they would have been delivering quite some powerful blows and Peter's this enormous wall so it's for your own protection how long would they have been on the floor for basically until one person couldn't stand anymore some flights on record as having lasted several hours right so market workers there's a record of two women having a dress fight yeah she's allowed to he was in Iraq yes he was in the role business in the case of the two women Elizabeth Wilson on a high field they held half John coins in the hands directly arrestor so apart from the bare-knuckle business what else is there well we fought with weapons to hand sword battle Nexus or the dagger sword and shield quarterstaff scrolls they were all round martial artists oh the current loop of the Shaolin fighter what's this thing looks like something 50c it's actually a cudgel the weapon in its own right but also used to Train the art of sword fighting this was a simulation of the metal hill to protect the hand but they didn't actually use these obvious what's called a pot oh yes people died on the occasion use it for medical treatment rather than the woods itself I didn't try to kill each other actually tried to cause wounds cutting of muscles arms tendons well it was difficult so the money was thrown in the ring and appreciation of like father boss's corn ovens every time somebody stored a portal or why the cause there weren't people threw money in the sure she's not supposed to do that so were there any other weapons they saw yes they fought with swords of different kinds yes such as this yeah this is slightly later in period but the same type of thing that would have used all that kind of thing must have happened absolutely yes for serious wounds yes cause destiny it was a there was a famous fight in the early 1720s between the English and Irish fencing champion and the first boat the Irish woman poor woman she had a severe cut across her forehead which required stitching up on stage now in a city Nederland clotted glass of whiskey on she went out to same thing another wound stitched up on stage again another glass of whiskey and she went the third wound right across the neck and throat was so bad jost he couldn't fight on so he didn't die but he couldn't fight her took a share of the money I went home this is what I'm gonna do now yes absolutely [Laughter] just been horrible but after the fight was over and the bars were closed you still had to get home and there was no street lighting in the dangerous back stores and the coming worst jobs in history is that when there's a job that's so awful no one in their right mind will do it you get a small child so when the city gents decided that they needed to be escorted home by someone acting like a mobile street lamp who did they choose a little boy these children were called Linc boys and in cities like Edinburgh they guided people home with their flaming torches called links so why would it's such a bad job let's imagine these streets at night there were no toilets and at 10 o'clock at night you were allowed to throw all the wastes of these windows down it came on to the couple's of the closest done the walls and these poor kids had to walk through in the bare feet in his disgusting conditions either sculpting gentlemen walking or perhaps ladies in sedan chairs and presumably these boys had no idea who the men were ah no one did that was another danger they could be drunk that they could be obstreperous but they can also be dangerous I mean all the men preying on young boys you know in the dark late at night these boys all sober very cool probably could be tempted by a few pennies so yes indeed it was a very dangerous job from that does that much work for these lads oh yes all the world break can be a cold windy city a lot of activity took place outdoors they made me run over lots of coffee shops ale houses houses of ill-repute I just around here of course is the old assembly rooms were they aristocrats came to dance and socialize underling boys of course would stand outside these places looking for work so these boys must have been quite a fixture of the 50 oh yes visitors to the city noted um for instance the the poet Robert bum stayed here he says about the link boys in one of his poems whose flambo's flash against the morning skies and gild the ceilings of her chambers very little mr. penny or two and you know the sad thing is that sometimes they had to beg to actually get the money to buy the links of course so that they could work in the evening so they would be tired they'd be covered in filth they ran the risk of being assaulted and at the end of the day they earned a penny that's it [Music] but it wasn't just kids who did the worst Janssen urban Britain has been built on immigrant labor before the Asians that were Jews before them the Irish and so on they arrived with nothing and starts at the bottom ironically often in the fashion industry making clothes of a very rich like the fur processors who softened helps with the Haute Couture of Jane Austen's London [Music] [Applause] Lester pants you're probably thinking tabal odd and you'd be absolutely right because lard or tallow as they used in those days was central to my next worst job which is further processing which was done in the late 18th to 19th century by immigrants mainly German Jews what they did was to make - so the skin side was uppermost into the barrel then you just jump into the barrel and started drilling and you Trotter after after our imagine room a basement like this full of blokes in barrels tripping in there under clothes some of them were actually naked because it got incredibly hot in these places partly they had to keep the temperature up so a tallow would mix with the fur properly but also just the sheer effort of the exercise made you sweat in fact there was a German countess who came into a place like this was confronted by all these blokes dripping with sweat so much sweat in fact that she thought that the perspiration itself was the thing that made the first soft what do they call these places sweatshops the smell of semi putrified skins and sweat we've been over pound try jogging for eight hours on a treadmill in gym you see just what it I think that's enough for me but amazingly these Germans didn't have the worst job in the city that job was reserved for some Italians I think looking at the worst jobs which make our towns and cities what they are being a human tap was hard work but are not cleaner than sound jobs pure collecting was certainly the smelliest but could earn you a fair wage and the risky job of fireman at least had hero status right from the beginning though for me the very worst job was a tedious to keep painful task which was done by Italian immigrants in the 19th century this was their tool of choice it's called a Panna it may not look much but it weighs about five kilograms so you wouldn't want to lug this about all day nevertheless carrying this was the least unpleasant part of the deeply revolting Italian job of being an ash felt haveá-- until the 19th century our city's roads were cobblestones perfect cartwheels [Music] city transport as we know it depended on the invention of roads allowed bicycles cars taxes and buses to move freely the first - felt Road in Britain was laid in 1871 it was a marvel but it was only made on the sweat and paid at the Asheville pave years who built it what do they use these things for day oh yes show itself was poured out is as a molten substance and then to compress into compact yes well the workers would use these panas to hammer it down why is yours gone into a stove because the pan has also had to be heated before they could be used give you an idea if we put it in here seriously called so what's the stuff have been laid what did the guys actually do they would humming it down and today we had a flat surface but this is really hot stuff how did they get near it they would have to walk on it in what well this is we be extra twist to the job because all the contemporary accounts emphasize the fact we're not only did workers have to walk on the Asheville to come a bit down but but in order not to injury Asheville as a contemporary accounts put it they had to do this what by wire not to wearing boots this is an Indian fakers job isn't it it is and this is what I'm gonna do now most certainly is [Music] I'm really not looking forward to this I'm gonna give the club [Music] in order to build on what the world the Asheville has to be heated to over degrees so that it can be worked into a streaming service now we've got machines to cope with the heat but back in the 19th century it had to be laid and worked by hand or rather foot so there's just this between me and first degree burns yeah we've got accounts from Charles boobs great chronicler with the late 19th century Paul and others to attest to a factor at those lame yash felt wore slippers bizarre some of this stuff out there I've been walking these things make you in front of me was a truck with over four tons of ash fans heated up to a hundred and sixty degrees centigrade Oh flaming course I know pinpricks working on the October so bad the English do it claiming clothes from the Mediterranean meet Lester in the middle yep in the middle of work down so if you're too bad [Music] I can't concentrate on a pounding I'm just worried about my feet it's a very weird sensation because it's starting to get hotter but I just don't know how hot it's gonna get you know I'm slightly apprehensive about these slippers which God Almighty subtly shoots up right back oh oh I got something yeah right in contrast to their blistering work on the roads the Italians also sold ice cream on their days off like most immigrants they saw their worst jobs as a stepping stone to greater things one signore Jared Ani ended up owning his own Ash felt company I've been going I must've been going for about five minutes and it's completely useless apart from anything else the level of the pound that keeps altering all the time because of my feet gets her hiking running through the damn stuff losing skin was acting to add insult to injury the Italian [Music] English tell you what the real problem is when you first start your shoes are really cold and they take some time to warm up like steal their stuff on me here can you see all that as you continue doing it your shoes get hotter and hotter so you've got no cooling down time I've got blisters kissing that's great blister tomorrow I've got tiny little burn marks all over the bottom of my feet I mean so love that thought their sacrifice my soul for the British road system actually burnt the skin off their butt so if you think that this job's bad believe me more worst jobs in history [Music] next you
