- GordonS 7y agoAs a kid growing up in Scotland I worked picking daffodils in spring and berries in the summer - absolutely back-breaking work, but at least you got to eat your body weight in berries for free! We were paid a pittance based on how much we picked. It wasn't only kids, and was never thought of as "child labour" at the time - I wonder if this is still a thing in the UK?
- DanBC 7y agoIt probably isn't still a thing in the UK, because we now have things like national minimum wage and stronger protections against child labour.
