If its anything like grape picking its long, hard and painful work. Well my middle class capitalist pig body thought so in France. Specially the bending over all day and chopping bits of your fingers off then getting not only drunk at lunch but hungover as well.
Won't be doing that again.

Grape picking sucks. Trufax.

Sounds like the strawberry picking I did occasionally in the summers at sixth form.
In my head: hazy summer morning, chatting to the farmer about butter and cider, hedgehogs snuffling around protecting their strawberries.
In reality: painful work, competitively trying to pick more by weight than colleagues before days quota is made, unable to move the next day.
I think it's probably the hardest job I ever had.

There was a flower grower on the news saying he might have to ditch his crop as can't recruit pickers, claims he pays £1k/week on average with the best pickers earning £1.8k/week which I found eye opening that he can't fill those vacancies
