By contrast, I've never known a nurse, docker, oil-rigger, taxi driver, surgeon or doctor (all professions I have friends in) complain about the long, difficult hours.

Oh, I see yr point now and apologize.
I have found when ppl get together---for a drink, to shoot the shit, ---it usually ends up a bitchfest about how hard their jobs are. We all know where we're comin from. And we can all relate.
You are English, right? Your friends that don't complain are really cool. In America, everyone I know has at one time or another has complained about their jobs. The only ppl I don't know are the very rich.
