No takers, flying in Romanians to do it for them. Going to be a problem getting unskilled workers to pick them from next year.

I did it when I was at school. Hops. Lorry picked us scallies up at the Washington pub car park, we all piled on the back and went off waving (and chucking things at people) on our way. During various gaps in employment I picked potatoes and peas and one Autumn headed for France to pick grapes. Had a great time. Hard work but the money was ok.
Edit. Money was good unless the weather made the going hard, flattening pea crops and the like.

Can’t all those apparently downtrodden salt of the earth Brexit voters who lost their jobs (hmm) to ‘all them foreigners coming over ere takken ar jobs? Now get those jobs they had been so cruelly denied and really wanted?

Perhaps those employed that are furloughed fancy a career change? Fresh air, live in a caravan miles away from their family, no holiday or sick pay and no career ladder. I’m sure they’ll forego these trinkets and baubles and be heading over to Hereford or down to Kent etc as we speak.

Did a freelancer poop in your hard hat at some point?  

Why the animosity towards freelancers who in a lot of cases simply go from project to project without any perks and pay their tax? That may not be the case in your industry but that says more about some in your industry than millions of freelancers who would have had no income coming in for months.

Don't worry about him Dekka, he's just pissed off that the things we predicted with Brexit are starting to happen and we haven't even left yet. He won't admit to being wrong so he gets aggressive and pretends to be on the windup.

It is a problem brought about by Coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions not Brexit and is a problem in other European countries too. And many have apparently applied.

the British Growers’ Association 

"Travel and movement restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic left a "serious labour shortage" ahead of this picking season, the association said."

Erm let’s be logical here the only reason there is a surplus of British workers is due to the Covid 19 lockdown measures. Those jobs won’t be so attractive once things are hopefully back to something resembling normality.

Why? We managed perfectly well importing seasonal Romanian workers before Romania joined the EU. Are you mad?
