Pea pulling, spud picking, sprouts, strawberries, flowers etc etc . . .
Plenty of so called 'casual' work used to be done by students in need of a few bob . . and I bet a few of you can remember local women (and kids) being bused out to farms to do picking
Time moves on though and students, women, and kids now have no time to spare during their daily time consuming mix of daytime TV, Facebook, online shopping etc etc
The really sad part about the story though, is that the idiot jumped into bed with the supermarkets and is probably now finding that it's a lumpy bed that squeaks and rattles loudly, costing more than it's worth
edit: Of course, it didn't help when the Govt. and HMRC took away the fun of cash in hand payments too
