“Worker” = man

You’re going to have to be A LOT more specific

Nearly 30 years here and I’m still learning!

I’m just glad that sweetcorn is getting more popular here. Scratches an itch I have every summer.

I never knew that this was a thing!

Huh. Yeah. That’s wheat or barley to me.

Corn.

Not enough powers (or trust) to bring in money and all the responsibility for the really spendy stuff (health, education and social care). And no say on the other stuff that impacts all that (justice, welfare, etc).
