Do you lot have any idea what the minimum wage for an under 18 is? No one is going to be getting £11 an hour for picking fruit lads.

I'm pretty sure they would if the parcity of labour is as great as they profess it to be as it's still more than 50% less than they're paying, if not close to 100% less, according to the claimed rate of approx £15 per hour by those bemoaning the potential shortfall of EU workers. The same would be possible in the construction industries too (amongst countless others no doubt) were it not for the ridiculous hurdles, and over zealous regulation enforced on people, where they could both earn and learn as they used to be able to.

After reading the posts here on picking fruit and veg best to get prepared. You will need an industry standard can opener and have a few spares as you will be living on processed peas spam and beans after March 19th. Return of the old kitchen cupboard to store it all just like they did in 1940. Buy Rio Tinto zinc shares now......
