David, what G.Curtis says is true.
I have friends in Lincolnshire and one of them worked as part of a land gang – picking veg in the fields. One day when they went in to work the whole gang were told they were being layed off. The following week my friend went to see the boss and there was a new gang, all Polish, in their place. The reason? The boss was able to pay them less money. This is fact, not fiction.
