Not really. Any reasonable intelligent person could do it. If it's complicated a surgeon or specialist will treat you. Has anyone sat in a GP surgery and heard a Scouse accent or a cherping Cockney

Still desperate to start that Class War?  I'm sure there are plenty of locally-born GPs in Liverpool and London . . .

 Very possibly but they would need to commit themselves to a decade of no pay and a massive debt.

They would need to be confident that they can reach the required standard in a dozen subjects.

 

I would not want a reasonably intelligent person treating me, I want a highly qualified, motivated committed  person to do it.

12 years training to be a GP with massive debts on top. Working with (often) the bolshie public. How long to train to be a brickie? How much aggro from the public?

I haven't ever but regional accents are rare. It's middle class occupation, that's why they are paid more. Look at Dentists paid a fortune and that's not a difficult job.

What has being middle class got to do with accent??  Accents are developed on where you are born and raised.

 

I would put a bet on that most liverpudlians visiting one of their local surgeries will hear Liverpudlian accents similar to those visiting their local medics or hospitals in East London.

 

By example from another White Collar profession, I work for a international law firm which represents massive blue chip companies with  all the pretence and image that you expect. However, my team's managing partner,  private school educated, Oxbridge uni graduated still has one of the thickest Cockney accents I've heard outside London.

 

On the flip side, I'm sure there are plenty of softly spoken, Queen's English, home counties raised southerners working in the backroom at supermarkets or packing boxes in warehouses.

I'm sorry if you don't understand. It's not my fault though. I blame the education system.

No, I went to Uni, got a degree (hons) and went to work in an office. If you can't beat em join em. What I do now is better paid than bricklaying but easier. Anyone could do it. Apart from the few numpties trying to be funny on here. They're not funny and are a big ignorant of the big picture.

 

All the bricklayers I used to work with are hobbling about or old men well before their time.

Clearly they couldn't if you had to go and become a university graduate to get your current job.

 

So what have we learned, just what exactly does your tiny mind think the causal link might be between education level, salability to recruiters and renumeration ?

For me  training was 7 winters starting on fifty bob a week , some times three buses to sites , some times 20 mile bike rides .

Laid  of  in winter due to snow and frost (yes bad winters then) . so dole money not enough to  pay thi board or get a bus to town .

Then over the years , the bad back, wrists and knees kick in , and for some the chest problems due to bad weather , dust from cement and asbestos .

As to the public on my last job we were referbing  10 houses on City road , out of the ten at least 6 were moaning whinging women who thought we were out to make as much dust and ****e into their lives as possible , they never for one minute thought that we were doing it to make the holmes and lives better and it was us swallowing all the ****e .

That is one example , others include no you cannot use my toilet do it in the bushes , or if you want a cup of tea mashing go to a cafe .

In winter your hands bleed due to wet bricks and blocks , sticking plasters peeling off , wet feet and shoulders .

do you want me to go on .
