Never went prata pickin, but went stawberry pickin once in Parbold in '60s. Remember there was an Italian in charge of checking your baskets of stawberries at the weigh in, he used to throw all the little or greenish ones out of the baskets whilst having a paddy, shouting and obviously swearing and calling you all the names under the sun in Italian, and woe betide you if you put any in with the stalks missing. He always seemed to be finding some fault or other with me and my mates baskets and we got fed up with it so come dinner time we legged it, we only made a few bob, but we'd scoffed quite a few bobs worth of strawberies though. Yes it was fun but you got a stiff back next morn too which wasn't.
