We asked if they had enough seasonal workers for the start of the main picking season: 32% said they weren't sure 18% said they had slightly fewer than they needed Just over 3% reported having many fewer than required 42% said they had just enough 1% said they had more than enough What a non story!!
I hope all True Patriots are going to condemn Theresa May as an Enemy Of The People following her craven surrender to Brussels. Three million EU SPONGERS to be allowed to stay for ever. String her up ! I think it's very sensible. When do we change our minds on Brexit?
The Times today : only one British applicant to work for between £8.50-9.50 an hour at a fruit farm in last 5 years. He quit after one day. The reality is far worse than the theory
The reality is that only 3% of those asked said they didn't have enough staff - sound the berry picking alarm FFS
Actually it was 21% without enough staff, 53% either without enough or not sure if they'd have enough More Leave camp distortions
So 75% asked didn't have a problem with their staff numbers and 18% had only slightly fewer than they wanted - sound the berry picking alarm
So you think there will be a shortage do you - bearing in mind Seventeen million tonnes of food is being ploughed into Britain's landfill sites every year?
So would you like us to bring say 250,000 in to pick you some Strawberries.Go to pick your own better and cheaper
Yes that would work I'm now being polite on non football matters, notice how I didn't add 'you friggin eejit'
Well done on finding a fact that is both impressive and not relevant. The real concern is these food producers go bust if they can't get staff
Always had Strawberries,how come we never had a problem for hundreds of years picking then before the EU.Tell the 1.6 million,go pick strawberries that are looking for work
Lack of berry pickers doesn't bother me. Us Jocks don't eat fruit or veg. Now if beer production was threatened, then you'd really have my attention!
