I picke dup a pair of Hitchhikers on Sunday , they were a Polish couple , heading to Montrose , to  work on the Daffodil picking .

 They seemed civil enough , so i went 50 miles out my way and drove them straight to the farm , there are 200 pickers there , all living in caravans , (provide free , electicity from a generator is £1 a day ) 

 The say that the work is price work  and for 10000 daffs picked they get £65 , which is about what thye get every day , the farmer pays them direct , no gang master , and they said some of the best pickers managed 20k dafss a day , £130 , 

Its 7 days a week , for 6 weeks - 2 months .

 They said the money they could save would be a few k each an dit would get them a good start to the year .

The 200 pickers were a mix of folk who travel the country looking for work , Poles , Portugues , LAtvians , Irish , and a few pickers for Cornwall .

 Not a single Scot , can hardly blame the local unemployed , as the work is not permanent .

And

anyone under 40 will no doubt get a sore back , for a few days untill you got used to it .
