Fruit and vegetable picking is a mainly seasonal job which used to be
traditionlly done by students/young people during their generous
holiday periods.

It seems the modern younger generations eschewed this work and left
it to migrants which is ironic as we are led to believe the
snowflakes now find this work too onerous and hard.


Your forefathers said the same about your generation, that was
probably something like "lazy, good for nothing". Tends to be directed
to anyone who don't yet think policemen look young.


Not sot, when i was young (mid 1960's and b4 we joind the EEC) ) this
work was done by mainly young british workers. It is the modern day
'snowflakes' who don't seem to want to do it.
