Trawlermen

[BertiWooster]

I've become hooked on this television series - if nothing else just to hear the accents of the fishermen .

Does anyone else admire their courage in doing the job they do , in this society of ours , in order that Joe Bloggs can have his fishy /crustacean supper ?

Apparently it is one of the most dangerous jobs - i'm not suprised when you see the size of some of the trawlers fishing in the North sea .

Haven't seen the series but there was a trawlerman in my ward when I was in hospital recently. It does sound like dangerous work with an early start and long hours. Like the miners of yesterday, they support society doing hard work in a key industry.

I watched the series and agree, it is a dangerous job they do, but they love it don't they?
