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!

But jings that takes me back!! The October school holidays were specifically the Tattie Holidays, the whole point in the schools being off was so that us bairns could go tattie howking! No idea why they have the break nowadays, since they're barely back to school and have the Christmas holidays to come too.
