[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 6588921, member: 699"] I am afraid Werzle you had better get a job picking apples. It is not too bad at least it is mostly clean and regular hours. If you are a good picker you can earn £100 a day without any trouble. You might even get put up in a nice caravan with all mod cons for a very reasonable price. You might have a shop on site but it might only be selling Polish or other East european food. In Kent huge areas are now being planted with new varieties of apples and as the crop this year is down the price is very good. However the industry relies on casual labour to pick this fruit. These people have for many years come from the EU. There is a saying that the further East you go the faster the hand to eye movement becomes. Meaning that the poorer and hungrier people tend to pick more quickly! [/QUOTE]
