Hey, just wandering if you could help me out with a website or something in regards to the fruit picking work.
Came back to the UK for a funeral earlier this month and trying to save up to head back to the states or to head to Mainland Europe.

i've done the strawberry picking season in the south east of England. it's good work if the weather is nice. the only down side is back ache from bending over all day long. I hope you found somewhere to stay and you enjoy your new job.

It was 14 years ago that i worked picking strawberries so i don't know if the pay would be compariable to todays wages. I think I got about £5-£6 per hour and if I remember rightly you could do overtime and you'd get paid a bit more for that.
