'up to £25,000' I bet most of those guys only earn about £10-£15k a year if that. Plus will suffer with back problems for years...

Best thing about working like that is you don't have chance to spend anything so you save a fortune

60 hours a week is not a great deal and TBH i bet they do not earn 25k - thats more than the national average wage
Also how are they paid - hope they pay tax, NI etc
Should stop benefits full stop
That would get all the laxy fuckers working and shut the gate and let no more in as we are full

I reckon they'd do closer to a 35 hour week...
roughly 7 hours a day. £7 an hour
Over a year... £12740 ... then minus taxes if those cunts pay it
Not quite 25k tbf... but yeh if you say they spend their life there doing constant overtime then they can earn UP TO 25k.

Im going to get her a little dog for company while im away 
I'll be doing 2 weeks working (82hrs a week - 7x12hr shifts) followed by 3 weeks off. So technically only working 5 months a year, 7 months off.

No can do mate, they dont pay enough to have a shopaholic girlfriend & a minder! Wages arnt that amazing when you consider all the tax i'll be paying at the top end. Its the bonus's, shares & pension thats second to none really, as well as the time off, that apeals big time - as good as a thick bastard like me will ever achieve

And coming home smelly oh so sweet
Sounds like you've got yourself set up there Colin, I'd be happy doing that.
Although I quite enjoy my job as it is, paid 35 hours a week, I'll be unlucky if I do 20 of them

My basic hours a week are 54 but never do less than 60... The only good thing is I manage to save a lot because i never get a chance to spend it..

A lot of farming knowledge in this thread!
When a crop is in season, you will work many more than 35 hours in a week harvesting it. I've been out until 1am before now helping mates out and public complaining was the biggest reason work stopped, not wanting to work hard.
If labourers are able to move around and find different crops throughout the season, they could quite legitimately earn a few thousand pound a month no bother. That could equate to £25k py even if they didn't work out of season.
If the doleite lazy ass locals "don't want to work in like no cornfield" then it's a good thing there are willing, hardworking people able to do proper manual work. Foreign productivity is about the only thing that keeps farming profitable by the time supermarkets have squeezed the margins down to breaking point.
