By
Jon Denovan’s pronouncement yesterday that the solution to brokers’ problems ‘might be to drink more’ – and the overwhelmingly positive response it received – got us a little worried: Are our readers all alcoholics?
Thankfully, some not-so-extensive research shows that brokers are no more likely than most other members of - *hiccup - society to overindulge. In case you were wondering, here are the seventeen jobs most likely to be held by alcoholics (one = the most likely):
17 – Rubbish collector
16 – Advertiser
15 – Carpet installer
14 – Gardener
13 – Surveyor
12 – Farmer
11 – Amusement park attendant
10 – Concrete finisher
9 – Musician
8 – Drywall installer
7 – Construction labourer
6 – Sailor
5 – Chef/cook
4 – Painter
3 – Roofer
2 – Show machine operator
1 – Bartender
So, as you can see, no mention of brokers (or - *hiccup - journalists!). Now that’s something to celebrate. Cheers, guys and happy Friday!
