An excellent idea - which our useless shower of politicians will never take up. 
As for all these farmers etc. who claim they will be desperately short of workers. Who did these jobs up until 15 years ago. 

English people for more money

How else do think that prices are pretty much frozen year on year...

You must shop at different shops to me.

Would you give a sh*t if you were on less than minimum wage?

You are only going to progress if you always try your best.  Plus it becomes a life skill and second nature.

Amen to that, TB - I couldn't agree more. The snowflakes think the world owes them a living and they don't have to try.

Popped out with SWMBO earlier, it was about mid-day so called into a nice farm shop on the A17, near Optis place actually, to pick up a few bits & bobs. We decided to have lunch there.

It’s one of those places where you make a note of your table number, order & pay at the till & they bring the stuff over when it’s cooked.

I ordered a baguette, SWMBO wanting soup, I paid, collected cutlery & returned to the table, giving her a soup spoon and laying out my knife & fork in front of me.

A few mins later, a young lad appeared with a tray with our food on. He correctly spotted that SWMBO was having soup, which was politely placed in front of her. He then openly asked who was having the baguette. We thought he was joking at first, but no. He then asked her directly if she was having the baguette. Nice lad, just not very observant.

Still, no harm done, good food and service with a smile - ours.

I think the young lad now works in the Swindon Outlet Village.
I went into a coffee shop and asked him, as he was standing there with a tray,
'Is it waiter Service?
'Are you waiting to be served?'
'No, what I asked was 'IS IT WAITER SERVICE?'
'Yes, and I'll bring your coffee to you.'
I sat down and noticed someone at the counter paying and collecting a table flag, so I go to counter, order, pay and collect flag.
When dipstick brings my order, he said' I didn't understand the question'!

I have in the past when asking for a cheeseburger been asked in return if I'd like cheese on it

[Bigron]

No surprise there, Baza; all that indicates is that the intellectually-challenged youth didn't listen to you and replied on autopilot.
God help us if they could actually think for themselves!

All generations have their geniuses and imbeciles, their go-getting hard-workers and layabouts and their smart and dumb. If you are looking for mostly the former, look where the well paid jobs are and for mostly the latter minimum wage jobs and benefits queues. Combinations fall somewhere in the middle.

In the US Trump's clampdown on migrant and seasonal workers means that farmers are embracing automation. UK farmers need to do the same, where they will be facing ever increasing competition from lower cost producers from March 2019. The French with CAP have made sure that agricultural protectionism is the EU's no 1 job and have massively delayed or scuppered several WTO rounds of negotiation as a result. With the EU exporting $47bn of agricultural goods to us, which can be replaced from cheaper sources in the rest of the world. The EU commission needs to be careful with what they wish for from the #Brexit negotiations.
