Coronavirus

Most of it will be automated in the next decade anyway .

 

Yup ... he's too tight to buy a long haul flight ... so he's self emigrating to Oz through the Munson tunnel...

 

Shame really, because I'd say if you are young and have the time, do it, especially in the current weather. The farmer is generally no hassle, he just leaves you to it, he just wants the crop picked. Anything that's on trees, even older people can do, it's just the stuff on the ground, you need to leave for younger backs.

 

Yes - you might run over Aberdude.

 

No. Just don't stop and talk to any animals

 

Branding iron?

 

No mate, the answer was in the original quote...

workers “who have been temporarily displaced due to Covid-19 are now looking for roles in other sectors”.

i.e. this changes nothing. People who work will always want to work. The ones who don't are still sitting on their arses

 

What EU schemes paying less than the minimum wage are these?

 

I reckon loads of people will break the lock-down this weekend, and the cops already know it, that's why the are making the media messages that they are sending out. The only saving grace will be if it pisses it down.

 

Trouble is , it's meant to be Glorious !

 

Like I said earlier, when I did fruit picking, you were paid by the bin - you weren't paid by the hour, so I'm not sure how minimum wage fits into it, unless they pay them by the hour now, been a few decades since I done it.

 

I've just come back from a weekly shop at Tescos. Stood in a queue with easily 350+people in front of me weaving around a great big fck off car park. Took me 50 mins before I got in. They were kind enough to be handing out water bottles to the queuing people. Then a queue to be served at the till. All in all 1 hour 45 mins. I was at the same Tesco a week ago and was in and out inside 20-25 mins.

WTF was that all about? I put it down to the Bank Holiday weekend but wondered how that was any different to any other day at the moment as nobody can go out anyway. Strange one.

 

Easter weekend and BH shop hours plus Sunday closed.

 

Here you go people if you want to know how to do fruit picking, paid by the bin as I said in my previous two posts...

You could back pack to New Zealand

 

I get that, but it's not like ppl will be socialising or doing anything different to last week?

 

No way would I do strawberries, fook that I'm too fooking old
