John Nelson, 50, drives a petrol tanker. He earns £29,000 a year and lives with his wife in Cumbernauld, outside Glasgow. He has two adult children who have left home. He says life has become increasingly difficult for manual workers over the years because all of the fun has gone out of work. 'It is all about getting a pound of flesh from human beings. Businesses are all about profit and people feel much more stressed because of that. Years ago, most big organisations would have a social club, a football team, a pipe band. But that has all stopped. It is just work, work, work and no play.' A 'blame culture' and the increasing use of short-term contracts have, says John, created a climate of fear and insecurity. 'You can work all year doing an excellent job and no one will say anything, then you do one thing wrong and you'll be crucified. ' John says long shift patterns, boredom, working in isolation and the plethora of health and safety regulations that have to be adhered to also create immense pressure. 'I have learnt to switch on when I start work and switch off the minute I leave. But some of the other boys can't.'
