Billionaire fruit pickers?

Supermarkets, local shops and garden centres in London will all have numerous applicants from adults with retail/hospitaty experience, most of whom are happy to accept zero hour contracts - why would they hire a 16 year old over them?

It’s a nice idea, but the reality is there is just not the same opportunity for kids to work these days - I got a job on the turnstiles at Selhurst at 16; I referred my nephew who is a similar age recently and he couldn’t even get a conversation with anyone at the club.

I agree there are still opportunities for some, but it’s extremely limited, and I think it’s really weak to make out it’s in some way related to mobile phones and social media usage.

Do paper rounds still exist? Genuinely curious, but I can’t imagine there’s much of a demand for hand delivered papers these days.

I suppose you think that's funny. At least you did take my advice

Yes, I do know. This one is an area of specialism for me. We are in the manure without a shovel. Shall we have a little bet on how long it will take for chlorinated US chickens to hit our supermarket shelves after the deed is finally done?

I'm pretty sure they would if the parcity of labour is as great as they profess it to be as it's still more than 50% less than they're paying, if not close to 100% less, according to the claimed rate of approx £15 per hour by those bemoaning the potential shortfall of EU workers.

The same would be possible in the construction industries too (amongst countless others no doubt) were it not for the ridiculous hurdles, and over zealous regulation enforced on people, where they could both earn and learn as they used to be able to.

Optimistic as ever

How would you know if you aren't an authority?

Save me the paradoxical self important statements.

That's interesting, cheers.
