    :-)

    FIFE where I live amongst the fields that grow the Veg for Kettle produce in Kettlebridge Fife

    All the Veg is collected during the day, taken into the store and washed

    The night shift start the production line rolling

    The first two hours packing fresh Veg for Morrisons, then the line is stopped whilst the label machine is swapped over and a two hour run for M&S, Then it is stopped whilst the label is changed to Waitrose, etc, and last but not least the newest packed Veg and the first lorry out the door LIDL and ALDI :-)

    The staff a couple of years ago used to get HALF bags of mixed veg along with their weakly (sp) pay

    It was wonderful with a produce manager and a worker living in the street
    I had no garden but fresh Veg every week, as they shared it out
    (sort of exchange for services rendered amongst us all, I had the petrol lawn mower, Bill was a handy man etc)

    It stopped :- ) when minimum wage was increased
