With regards to "they have kids, they shouldn't be risking their lives", that comment applies to police and fire brigade as well, surely? Due to the amount of jobs, we don't have enough childless people to cover them, factoring in that no everyone can do a job where you put your life in danger for the sake of a stranger.[/QUOTE]
Ultimately my point was that I feel the whole system needs an overhaul not just a small section of it.
As for the money - I don't earn a lot (less than one of my brothers mates who comes home from the army some weekends and spends opening till closing getting lathered) but still manage to save a little and put a roof over my head.

Punky, I'd guess the risk assessment of PC Plod working a 12 hours shift would be a lot better than Corporal Joe working 24 hours a day in Iraq or Afghanistan. Again it's what I think I'd can't see what the problem is with me thinking a kid growing up without a father is not great.
