It was a long time ago, and to be fair it was only the old guys so the practice has probably died out. They wouldn't have done it in front of me of course, I only know because my husband told me...

You've almost sliced off your finger with your secateurs but you have to get to the end of the row before being offered a dirty handkerchief.

How about it's pissing with rain at 10.00 so you're obliged to take your lunchbreak in the back of a C15 with five other people.

I also knew a revered Japanese wine expert who could do no more than dribble over the bucket. He was a great taster though.

I've been on my knees at the end of the day with grape juice in my knickers, starving because my lunch was stolen by a passing {person}, rained on, and constipated because I can't sh*t in the vines, and sent home to do it all again the next day.

And learning that the male pickers cleaned the sticky grape sugar from their hands by pissing on them. #neattrick
