Before we get into the meat of this one, let me just point out one insight that may have passed people by. There is very obviously a widespread psychographic of risk-averse hypochandriacs abroad in the British population. You only have to look at the ease with which these easily frightened folks soaked up the Brexit…

The linked article, for instance, implies that vaccines are bad and that the people vulnerable to Covid 19 can get 85% protection if 'herd immunity' is pursued.
The problem with that is that herd immunity has only ever been obtained in two ways:
1. Vaccination programs where ~80% or more of the population are vaccinated.
2. After a disease has already killed off ~90%, or more, of those who are succeptible.

That's not what Brexit was ever about though.
Increasing wages for fruit picking to the level where enough British workers will be willing to do what is a very physical job, will mean that prices for British fruit and veg would rise considerably - and the result would be higher prices in the shops and/or cheaper imported fruut and veg being bought instead, leading to British farming becoming uncompetitive.
I'm still waiting to be told a single benefit that we will see from Brexit (a real one, not a claim that can be shown to be false with about five minutes of fact checking).

Remember when students went grape picking in France? Rite of passage!
The free movement of labour which allowed people to do that was an EU thing.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

by jessa46Has anyone else heard about the 'reset' and that we won't be allowed to have money in the bank or multiple properties? It does sound far-fetched but I would have laughed in the face of anyone who said we'd have lockdowns etc, this time last year.

Reply to Maddening spellcheckby nukecadI don't believe there is a spellchecker/autocorrect on the forum itself.
It will be your device, or possibly in the browser you are using.
For instance if I'm posting from my phone then the phones spellcheck kicks in, posting from my laptop no spellcheck.
PS.There's...-

Reply to Cement dustby nukecadHand saw and/or hammer and chisel. (Yes you can get hand saws for concrete).
It's power tools that create a lot of dust.
In workshops you have vacuum extractors, but on site hardly anyone bothers.-
