50p a day and free bucket of spuds is what used to be the going rate. 
Forgot to mention you got a free mug of sweet milky tea at noon, made with milk directly from the coo's teet, none of your pasteurised stuff! 
Rows and rows of ridges from what I recall!
No ridges for me though, no dig and mulch, mulch, mulch equals clean spuds with no greenies! |
Yeah Snadger, that brings back some memories
We used to go potato picking every year at a farm near Morpeth. A bloke my dad knew called George. Dunno if I ever knew his last name? We used to get paid a sack of spuds, and a barbeque afterwards with the other families who were there. Seemed like great fun to me, but me Mam always complained about her back afterwards!
