Londoners made hopping in Kent their annual holiday - don't know what the pay was like

Farmers knew the eastenders treated the annual migration as a holiday and paid accordingly. The best in Kent in 1948 in four weeks could earn £40 - the equivalent of ten weeks' pay for an average man.
The best was generally held to be the traveller contingent, others made far less.

It is not so much the money as the rigid unemployment legislation. It is easier to stay unemployed than obtain temporary work and then try to prove your case about unemploment when the job finishes. Government should encourage temporary work not create a bureaucratic paperwork
nightmare for those that seek such work.
