UK Toughest Jobs - Lumberjack

Did any one see this on tv recently??

 

Basically 3 dole queue losers were given a chance to make something of them selves, albeit a insight in to the uk's toughest jobs.. trawler men, steeple jacks, lumberjacks and a few others I'm unsure of.

 

A big well done to the scouse lad who really wanted to make a difference and change his life, he really stuck in and was helped to get a job after he passed the 2 week course. He even went back to do his climbing tickets after all of the jobs he was offered were from tree surgeon companies.

 

From what I can gather the lass passed too but wasn't impressed with the job, but fair play she didn't quit and wouldn't give up even with a defeatist attitude.

 

A giant 'L' to the Loser loud mouth waster from Nottingham who quit after just 4 days, and was happy to sit on the sofa in front of the tv at home on the dole.

 

The steeplejack episode was good too... good to see some of the, on the dole 20 year olds who were given a chance grab it with both hands and change their lives for the better!!

That's about 3 years old as I was on a course at Newton rigg a couple of weeks later and Joe who was one of the tutors said they were hard work.

I didn't know it was that old, I honestly thought it was recent as some one else told me about it.

If the lad who was a grafter and went and did the climbing was a scouser then it's about 3 year old. It's been on a few times.

well I don't watch much tv and only made a effort to see it as I work in forestry and know how hard it is.

 

would be interesting to run a series like that again, fair play to all these who stick in and make something for them selves!
