An Open Invitation to East Europeans to Plunder Our Native Hedgerows

I've been out on the downs, picking blackberries. The bushes are heavy with big, ripe, burstingly juicy fruit - delicious, and there for the taking. I picked a pound and a quarter in no time. Thelocals, of course, can't be arsed - they'd sooner go to the supermarket and buy giant denatured 'blackberries' from Mexico at £3.99 a pack. But why aren't those resourceful east Europeans out there picking? Apparently they've been hoiking carp out of every patch of water and wolfing them down. It seems a shame, all that wild fruit going unpicked and uneaten...
