Hereford was popular around here up until mid 90's for hop picking, something my mother and her siblings did growing up

Bloody hell, DC! I've never even heard of it going on, so far up, or so Late!

Did they mention the nits?

All my family used to go and do this every year from way back.....I used to love the smell of the hop fields when I was a kid although the tradition had stopped with my brothers generation.

We lived on a little small holding just outside Sandwhich in Kent and right in amongst the fields.....Sandwhich still had its old cattle market then.....it’s a car park and supermarket now  

Sadly now all lost.......I miss MY England 

Anyway, I hope some of you enjoy

That was a great clip . I watched it to see if my I could see my grandad. He used to have a fish and chip van on the hop fields of Kent . Made a fortune he used to say . 
          Similar thing when I was a lad was black currant picking. A few coaches used to come and pick Up the pickers from our village and take us to Newent ( Gloucestershire) . They used to go to the Ribena factory. You were paid by the weight of your bucket . The trick everyone did was to piss in your bucket just before weighing...... every little helps . Never did like ribena .
