Coronavirus

I believe a lot of people applied for such jobs a few weeks ago but they struggled to fill many of them. It’s one thing to fill the role with a local but another to fill it and do it with the same productivity.

 

There will also be a lot of people who have lost their jobs who could do with the money and will be applying. A lot of zero-hour contract workers and temps have been laid off.

 

Why the **** not. I live near farms here, if I was offered on a nice sunny day like this?

Earn a bit of cash on top of what the states kicking up? Whats the objection.

 

I’ll put you down on the rota for the sunny days.

 

They mentioned that Germany and France also had the same need, Germany was far greater numbers I believe. The only hurdle that I've seen against doing the jobs is the location of some of the farms, but if you have transport and are reasonably fit, it's extra income for sure, begging to be earned. Although I don't know how much farmers pay these days, been a long time since I've done it.

 

Apparently lots applied, not many turned up and very few came back on the second day.

 

I agree. It's been gorgeous weather for doing it.

 

Yeah if it rains im downing tools and going home. Write that down too

 

He personally praised the Chinese President Xi only weeks ago, talking about conversations they’d had about the crisis. He did the same about the WHO.

He’s now decided he needs a scapegoat to cover for his own failures, including the denial it was anything more than flu, through to him labelling it a Democrat hoax. Taking away WHO funding is the desperate act of a windmilling narcissist.

 

Over 100,000 coronavirus cases now confirmed in the UK as of today...

 

Can I do it from home

 

Do you mean like click and collect

 

Not a great advert for cutting the unskilled foreign workforce.

 

There you go then winds, go and show us how it's done mate, take pics and post them on here

 

UK hospital deaths seem to have topped 1,000 in the last 24 hours if you add them together

 

I wouldn’t want to do it and I’m very fortunate that I’m considered skilled and, touch wood, still employed. I don’t actually think such jobs are unskilled at all but I don’t make the rules.

 

I was thinking more like planting a few spuds in the back garden.

Ever been fruit-picking btw? Went with the kids once and enjoyed it alot. Appreciate it's nowhere near the same, but if I was to do it, maybe try it as a family, especially with the kids off school. Don't know if that would work, maybe a few days a week, but it's worth a shout.

 

I thought you put yourself forward for volunteering, now's your chance to live up to all these great words you speak and show us that good old British working spirit, you talk so much about
