Im going to say teachers.


Right up front....Im in no way debating that that many teachers are fantastic and work their socks off in a tough job, with many pressures....


....but don't we all know it....


Open any daily newspaper, and invariably they'll be an article somewhere with a teacher or teachers union bemoaning one thing or another....or chat to a friend who's a teacher and they'll often tell you how tough they have it...


Other professions in the shortlist would be nurses and black-cab drivers....anyone else?

Farmers are the Worst Moaners... Never stop whinging.


Ever seen a poor Farmer ?


100's - 1,000's of Acres of Land. Huge Houses and multiple other Buildings

10,000's of pounds worth of Machinery , Farm vehicles and other equipment.


Excuses for poor Harvest.


Too Hot, Too Cold, Too Dry, Too Wet.


Pay poor immigrant workers peanuts for long hours.


Don't get me started.

Teachers have pressures as do nurses and doctors. They might have a bit more time to celebrate those pressures given more sociable hours though. Many lawyers are under huge pressure, but the pay is mostly better and their moans aren't very public. Teachers should moan because the working conditions are often appalling. You will know this is right if you've ever taught in mainstream UK schools. Other people's rants need action too though.

My family are farmers and like a lot of smaller farmers, they are not rich. Land is actually worth more for development than farming these days and a lot of farmland is rented as well. There are rich farmers for sure, but they tend to be massive landowners. From the crofters of the highlands to the small organic market gardens of the South East, farming is far more diverse than that.


Back on topic however, the biggest moaners (after cab drivers of course) have to be politicians surely? Followed by talk radio presenters :P

The tabloid press loves to give teachers a bad press because a fair slice of their readership at some point had a bad time with a particular teacher or with school in general and thus likes to read articles which show teachers in a negative light.

That may well be true, but they often really don't help themselves do they? (As a collective group)

I repeat (and sort of complimented by this) Journalists


Especially when they don't get the sound bite they want

Maybe if my teachers hadn't been moaning all the time, my grammar would be more betterish.

It would be better to discuss which section of this forum moans most. The ED issues one is much more whingey than the Lounge. Not sure whether this is explained by demographics, perhaps there are more Daily Mail readers on the other side. PS what happened to the irrational rage thread?

Well...it looks like the Nurses/Unions saw me say 'teachers' and thought...we can top that...


From the Graun....."The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) will establish a ?35m industrial action fund following the government?s recommendation of a 1% pay rise for more than a million NHS workers in England, its leaders have announced. It follows a strike warning from Unite, the UK?s biggest union, which said it will be considering holding an industrial action ballot following the government?s ?kick-in-the-teeth announcement?.


Now, Health workers have clearly worked very hard, under much pressure over the past 12 months in particular. And in an ideal world (or even just a 'normal' world) they would indeed be due a significant bump in pay


But we dont live in anything near a normal world at the moment, and this reaction to the proposed pay-rise in the current climate is outrageous and tone-deaf in my view.


When swathes of people around the country are losing their jobs, or are at risk of losing them after furlough ends, when 1000's of small business have already gone under or are at risk of going under, when high streets are decimated,when young people cant get jobs for love nor money, when we have Children needing remedial education measures......we have the people with arguably the safest jobs in the country moaning about the meagerness of a rise in their pay...?

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
