The drivers of London's iconic black cabs are apparently the holders of the toughest job in Britain.
According to research for the Discovery Channel's new Hard Labour show, the capital's cabbies top a list of the ten most arduous professions in the UK.
This means that the owners of the Knowledge have a tougher lot in life than Scottish trawlerman braving the elements in the North Sea, Yorkshire lumberjacks and oil rig workers off the coast of the Shetlands.
They cited the nightmarish state of London's road network and the stress of dealing with abusive and frequently drunk passengers as among the reasons for black cab drivers scooping the dubious accolade.
Britain's toughest jobs are:
1 London black cab driver
2 Trawlerman
3 Lumberjack
4 Demolition worker
5 Miner
6 Oil rig labourer
7 Aircraft flight deck officer
8 Abattoir worker
9 Scaffolder
10 Railway lengthman
