To get, we'd sent out letters and we'd have about, could be up to 100 people and so I used to do the school run because mums had to take their children to school. So I'd collect the a whole lot of mums with children to drop their children off at school and then bring them to the farm and then they'd do their picking and then I'd have to take them to the schools to pick up their children and then take them home. And to we because we had cherry pickers and it was all piecework and the black currants.

We used to have the gipsies in for the currants and there was one that was in charge and what she said went and you just left her to it. She didn't uh have. Any interference at all. She took full charge and I can't remember what her name was, but they were this family that turned up every single year and she ruled them with a rod of iron. And so they were very good pickers and so they always came for the current picking.
