Picky Poles
Earlier this month we heard that the UK strawberry crop's under threat because there aren't enough Poles to pick them and today Germany's complaining that fields of white asparagus are rotting for the same reason. So many Poles left Poland to look for work in other European countries when they joined the EU that there are labour shortages in Poland and not many people are interested in summer fruit picking this year.

what do we think the Poles are picking? perhaps greener pastures?
What's wrong with the natives?
LM - many of them are cherry picking in the London building trade.
ED - they refuse to accept the low wages
I was going to ask the same question as eurodog.
The DHSS could supply many "workers" fit enough to pick strawberries.
