Journalists and estate agents. They're the professions that people often cite as the least trustworthy.
When it comes to the most trusted, a new survey by Reader's Digest suggests that farming is among them.

The only professions to score higher were fire-fighters, airline pilots, pharmacists, nurses, doctors and teachers.
The survey also named Tesco as the most trusted food retailer in the country. While shoppers obviously adore Tesco, their farmer-suppliers are sometimes rather less enamoured with the retailer.
