Wednesday 4th
Admittedly, a 'streamed' episode, as it's not on TV for a fornight
Guy Martins Proper Jobs

It was the last episode, where he's out with Crouch Recovery, from the Coalville depot

I know they're a fairly big company, but he stated they had a £50million turnover!!!, which was far more than I expected
I was surprised by the little cabins they have for on-call staff, almost like little pods, with a bed/small kitchen area/bathroom, rather than staff having to travel from home/take the truck home with them

What were the proper jobs.
Was there the newly qualified female nurse doing the Saturday night shift on A&E or prison officers on a maximum security wing.
Unfortunately Guy Martin seems to have be come a caricature of himself.

Apparently they have been filming series 3 in tandem with series 2.

Oh good. Yes, just googled and That’s confirmed. Hopefully we won’t have as long to wait this time.

I certainly appreciate the trials & tribulations of the A&E Nurse, although it's '24/7' nowadays for drunks/druggies/ferals
25 years ago (& even less!), it was a case (at our local Hospital) that Nurses needed 5 years ward experience before even applying for A&E
Nowadays, they're almost begging 2nd year students to consider it when qualified

The jobs;
RNLI crew
Potash mining (North Yorkshire, under the North Sea)
Dairy Farmer
Truck recovery

Mrs W is a big fan where as I can’t watch it as I can believe this sort of things are going on all the time. So watching it just creeps me out.
Like Macmafia.

Isn’t RNlI crew a voluntary thing so therefore not a job. I’m not popoing what they do but if we are talking jobs?

Most are
But some stations have paid (permanent) crews it seems
