REAL MEN DO REAL WORK

CULTURE - In an age where most people sit in front of a glowing screen pressing buttons on a keyboard, its easy to forget there are real men out there doing real work. Two of our good friends journalist Mark Smith and photographer Robin Mellor [of the 'TIS BUTS blog] got themselves down to Billingsgate's fish market and interviewed and photographed the 'real men' of the market.

Mark asked the questions and Robin took the pictures. Head over to the Guardian site to listen and watch the 'Getting up at 2am is hard on marriages - a lot of the guys haven't made it' visual and audio article. Our favourite quote from the piece was "I must admit now and then it doesn't hurt to have a Burger King".
