    I was being truthful mate.

    When I was training for the three peaks , I did snowdon with a few other lads, that were experienced hill walkers . I wore my council steel capped boots , and I put two pairs of socks on , as it was going to be quite a long walk( everyone else was wearing £250 boots , and £30 socks ) . I was talking to my mate about it on Monday morning,  and I was saying that I thought it would be much harder .  He said when he'd come to work for the council , he realised that theirs fit , and theirs binman fit .

    Old school binmen were conditioned to just keep walking , whatever the conditions. 

    He always reckoned that you wouldn't dream of expecting a young soldier to do 15 miles every day before they'd even had breakfast , because you'll just damage them.

    On the other side of the coin . Some of the old lads , that had been at it since leaving school , were needing , hip , knee , shoulder , replacements , by the time they were 40 years old , as they were f****d to the point of being disabled . A few of the lads came back to work after the replacements , but the new joints would only last six months , and the hospital wouldn't replace them again( you cant blame them). , so the guys would quite often get pensioned off. 

    These days , the council only use agency binmen , so as soon as they're f****d , the council just gets rid of them.

    Probably many a labourer keeping 4 brickies loaded out with muck and bricks /blocks fitter than your average squaddie

    That's true enough Walt,  some folk are just amazing mate.

    An old boss/mate of mine , used to do snowdon as part of a marathon that he did every year.   Snowdon was the last few miles.

    He'd spent most of his life in the army( staff sgt , rmp) , and marathon running was his passion.  He always said that he was amazed that binmen were fitter than young soldiers . 

    Can't tell if your if your being truthful about bin men ???
