As I said, it is a year or two since I read it and I can only remember the top ten in the correct order, so I could be wrong.

I think that they listed that under soldier or armed services.
I didn't know that 'nurse' was considered such a dangerous job
Aparrently with todays culture of violence from patients, nurses are a lot more at risk than they used to be.
I thought north sea fisherman was the most dangerous job in the world.
It possibly is now, as I said this official research is one or two years old now.

I think that was for the UK only, the numbers worldwide would probably be much higher.

Sadly, the problem with todays kids is that they are not taught respect for their elders or anything / anyone else either for that matter. When we visit my mums, we see kids of seven or eight years old walking the streets, alone, at 11 o clock / midnight. WHAT ARE THEIR PARENTS THINKING / DOING LETTING THEM OUT PAST SIX OR SEVEN O CLOCK AT NIGHT ?????????????????

Okay, rant over. :lol:
