Worst job in the world

Just been watching a programme on tv (from my sick bed) all about the worst jobs in the world from the previous centuries. Its presenter was Tony Robinson of Baldrick fame, and he reckoned that if your surname is "Fuller", then it's almost certain that your ancestors were employed in the wool industry to do the job of "fulling", which involved standing ankle deep in stale piss treading on wool to soften it!!!!!

Kind of explains a lot doesn't it!
