·I was pondering about this recently - which would be the less forgiving prospect; life as a miner or a North Sea fisherman?
Having read a few accounts of those involved in the Arctic convoys during WWII tends to put one’s own ‘hardships’ in to perspective.
What kind of miner? In a deep coal mine, you have the special joy of knowing that even if a cavein or other accident doesn't get you, the lung cancer will, probably before you're old enough to collect a pension.
