It's also not uncommon to normal people outside these fora

Well its obviously not enough because all of the poorly paid Brits haven't chosen to do it instead of cleaning toilets or driving Ubers.

Whenever you find a shortage of low skilled workers there is normally a reason and its rarely laziness. Whilst many eastern europeans are hard workers so are Ugandans, Nigerians and Indians and there are plenty of thos eat the bottom end of the pay scales as they don't have UK qualifications but their kids will be Doctors & Lawyes.

Is fruit picking low skilled? Knowing exactly which are ready to pick and which to leave a few more days, how to pick without damaging the fruit, etc?

Hard work doesn't mean low skilled.

Dunno. Does he know what a fruit looks like?

[Paralytic]

no but "Brits too lazy to fruit pick" are

No, I implied UK students were too lazy to pick fruit.

Please learn to read/comprehend. Not all students in the UK are British. Stop with the casual racism please.

You clean toilets and drive Ubers in cities and towns. If you pick fruit or veg you end up stuck in a rural location with no public transport.
