It's great to be back with a special programme tonight looking | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
at the impact of the Brexit vote here in the Midlands, for farming, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We don't ask for any favours, all we really want is access | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
to the biggest single market community in the world. | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Who'll pick our summer crops if fewer EU workers | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
If you're sitting on the fringes of Eastern Europe, you will probably | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
choose to stay within Germany or Italy rather than | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
And we'll also be finding out why Claire has packed up and left | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
for Poland to make sure she's staying in the EU. | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
It doesn't actually feel like I'm going. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
I think because I haven't had too much time to prepare, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
I'm going and it's just hitting me that I'm | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
I'm Ayo Akinwolere with surprising stories from right | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
This is Bromyard in Herefordshire, at the heart of apple and fruit | :01:03. | :01:16. | |
growing country and as far from our big cities as you can get. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
But the Brexit vote here mirrored that across the Midlands - | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
That made us the most strongly Brexit region in the country. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
Mary Rhodes reports on why opinion is divided in the pottery industry. | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
From household staples such as Denbeigh to brands | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
including Wedgwood - Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire has | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
And in the past, most people around here will at least have known | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
someone down the years to work in the industry. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
ARCHIVE: Stoke-on-Trent, renowned as the wild's | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
It's beaten the odds and new competition to survive, | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
The ceramics industry might not be the powerhouse it once was, but it | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
still employs 20,000 people in the UK, and its products | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
are known around the world for their quality. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
And half of the UK's ceramic exports are to Europe. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
That's worth a quarter of a billion pounds a year to the UK | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
economy, with Stoke and Staffordshire at its centre. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
When it came to June's EU referendum though, more people | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
here than almost anywhere else in the Midlands voted | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
But was that the right result for the pottery industry? | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
We're exporting probably 70% of what we're making. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Probably 50% of what we're making is going into Europe. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Particularly in Germany, France and Scandinavia. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
We very much treat these markets like home markets | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
They have around 90 workers making luxury wares, which are | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
shipped all around Europe and the rest of the world. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
He voted Remain in the referendum - since the result has he noticed any | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
There really hasn't been that much of a change. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
The only thing we've noticed is the pound has devalued, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
so that means it's going to be a little bit cheaper | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
for our customers to buy our product in Europe. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
So we're hoping that we'll have quite a surge in orders. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
We're not out of it yet, we haven't on the factory floor either. | :03:38. | :03:48. | |
and everybody is giving it so much doom and gloom. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
You're making it feel worse than it already is before we've even | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
I was quite shocked at the outcome, even though I did vote to leave. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
I'm sort of confused and slightly worried bout the future. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
We want to know more about what's going on now, because we haven't | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
trade on goods and services with the European Union. | :04:13. | :04:25. | |
We can ship completely almost costlessly to Germany or to Spain | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
and they can ship the same goods back to us as well. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
This is why companies like Dunoon have done so well in Europe. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
So suppose I pay ?10 to buy a product in the UK, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
And a person in Germany also pays ?10. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
It's all tariff-free, easy trading while we're still in the EU. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The Government has now confirmed we will leave and have | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
So how does Alan at Dunoon feel about things changing? | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
I think, longer-term, there are concerns around trade | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
barriers and different problems with trying to get into Europe, | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
because we'll be exporting into Europe rather than, before, | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
it was selling into a home market, really. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Do you think some of your customers might start looking elsewhere? | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
It's been good for Dunoon, we've had access into these markets. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
We don't ask for any favours, all we really want | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
is what we as we have at this moment, access to the biggest | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
single market community in the world, really. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
This is why the deal is so important. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
So what's this deal he's talking about? | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Well, when we decide to leave, the Government will have to begin | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
negotiations with the EU for new trade deals in every sector. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
The problem though is, right now, there isn't | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
a single vision as to what Post-Brexit Britain | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
We'll be looking at the next steps we need to take, but also | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
What is certain thoug,h is that we will have two years | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
So if in those two years of renegotiation with the EU | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
we haven't managed to get into a new deal with the EU, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
then essentially we're out, and we're like any other | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
country like the US, Brazil, China, India. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Which essentially transact with the EU through the | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
And that's significant, because countries in | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
the World Trade Organisation have to pay tariffs | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
How much is different in each sector. | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
For ceramics, it's a 12% charge on top. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Once we've left ? at the moment it's ?10 in Germany as well. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
It's going to be ?10 plus this extra 1.2, because that's | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
the World Trade Organistion tariff at the moment, 12%. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
And that 1.2 is going into the EU's tariff collection. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Practically, it's very bad, because our customers | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
are going to have to pay 12% more for their product. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
They've been buying Dunoon mugs for 20, 30 years. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
We're just going to have to find a way. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
It may be that throughout the negotiations, we can come | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
to a better deal so we can avoid the 12%. | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Maybe can as a trade department, we can negotiate | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
So for Alan and the pottery trade, they'd need a UK-EU trade | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
deal sorted within the two-year period to avoid the 12% extra | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
How long does the average trade agreement take then? | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
The US-Canada agreement, after the white paper was written, | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
The EU-Korea deal took about 15 years, and the recent | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Switzerland-China deal took about ten years to negotiate. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
So these agreements typically take very long. | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
And that's just the nature of these negotiations. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
While Alan is concerned about retaining his European | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
customers, on his factory floor, they're more optimistic. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
I think it's really important we get new trade in as well. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
It's all very well that we keep the customers we already have, | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
So we'd have to sort our own trade deals out, that's the only worry, | :08:24. | :08:34. | |
Many companies are perfectly happy with existing trade | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
agreements with Europe and don't really want to change. | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
Others are quite optimistic about future trade talks. | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
So when comes to the future of the pottery industry, is it | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
And I know just the person who can tell me if it | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
will be easier then to get trade outside of the EU. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
In principle, yes, we can start doing negotiations with big | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
countries like China, like India, like the US - | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
but what we do know from years and years of trade agreements, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
is that typically it's bigger countries that manage to get | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
a good deal in these bilateral trade agreements. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
The future can be seen as a great opportunity to create | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
new and improved deals, but the past shows it will be hard work, | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
time consuming and actually favour the bigger countries. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
So with a long period of uncertainty ahead, | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
what's being done to protect the ceramics industry's interests | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
Chairman of the British Ceramics Confederation. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
How are you going to make sure that the ceramics industry has | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
a voice at the top table, if you like, as we start | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
We've got a ceramics all-party parliamentary group. | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
The MP's are active and we need them to continue to campaign on behalf | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
of the excellent businesses and jobs in their constituencies. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
But some people actually might see this as an opportunity to form | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
new trade agreements, country by country? | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
We've currently got an incredible number of trade deals | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
through the EU that's already benefiting our members. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
We can't just reinvent them all overnight - | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
it's going to take time to establish that. | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
So was Brexit the wrong decision for Stoke? | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Ultimately that will take decades to answer, but the pottery industry | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
here in Stoke and Staffordshire has survived hundreds of years | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
Whatever happens, you just know they're going to fight. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
I think the pottery industry will survive, it always has | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
We're a tough bunch, but we do need a level playing field. | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
Coming up on this special edition of Inside Out: Leaving | :10:53. | :11:07. | |
the Black Country for Poland - but has Claire made | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
Love you! Love you. I worry about her. One of my main worries is will | :11:10. | :11:24. | |
she be able to make a living after we have gone? | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
Farms like these have been using seasonal workers for years, I've | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
been finding out if they will cope after Brexit? | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Immigration was one of the biggest talking point in the run-up to this | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
summer's EU referendum. Britain voted out. But there has so far been | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
no indication what this means for immigration or how it will affect | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
people wanting to come year and work in the UK. That is not good use for | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
employers, including the nation's growers. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
If we can't get people to pick beautiful British apples, we won't | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
be to grow them. If we can't get the pickers here, they will go rotten in | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
the field. If the Government concerned it is | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
not king come in this country, it would be economic suicide and | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
completely stupid. There's nothing more British than a | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
strawberry. But could its future be in jeopardy? | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
There are around 80,000 seasonal migrant workers on our farms, fields | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
and orchards. And most of the workers are from Eastern Europe. | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
It's totally different setup from the way it used to be. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
ARCHIVE: They know a good thing when they have it, good pay and arrived | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
in the country. Years ago, British workers travelled for seasonal work | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
on the farms. Nowadays, living on site doesn't appeal. So foreign | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
workers have picked up where the Brits left off. Like Rafa, a semipro | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
football back in Poland, but he still needs to come and pick here in | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
order to live. It is a problem for us. Sure, we can | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
earn a lot of money, a chance rise to buy a house or new car. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
I'm here for six seasons. So you know what you're doing. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
Yeah. I think I am a good pecker. You know that Britain voted to leave | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Europe, how did that make you feel? We're worried about this, because | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
this situation is not good for both sides. For English, it is not good, | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
because they lose people which were very hard. For us, it is not a good | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
situation, because we lose cash and the chance for building a life, a | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
think. But good as decision to lead the EU | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
but people like Rafa off coming back? | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
We sent out a very clear message to Europe that people weren't and be | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
welcome hair. Which is a very sad reflection of the results of the | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
vote. That may not be what was intended by those who voted Leave, | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
the latter is how it was perceived. If you are sitting on the fringes of | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
Eastern Europe, looking for an opportunity to work in Italy, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
Germany or the UK, you will probably choose to stay within Germany or | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Italy rather than come over on a plane to the UK. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
That would be bad news for farms like this one in Herefordshire. It | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
depends on workers coming in from Europe. Fruit and vegetable growing | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
have always been a major part of our region's economy. And these days, | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
British berries are bigger business than ever. 2000 tonnes of soft fruit | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
growing, picked and packed here every year. The major stores like | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Marks Spencer, Sainsbury's and Tesco. It's likely we've all eaten | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
fruit grown on this farm at some point. But where would the owner be | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
without seasonal workers? Worst-case Norio, if we can't get | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
our workforce, we'll be out of business. There is no other way of | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
looking at it. -- worst-case and Harriet. It's not | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
easy work, as I will find out by being put through my paces. | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
You have clean hands? No watch, we're ready to pick | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
stories. Let's go. -- strawberries. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Realistically, you have some defy seconds to pick a panicked | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
strawberries. Let me know how I'm doing full-time! | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Like a game show. 15 seconds. | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
They've at the right, the right size, and I have to be quick. | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
Excellent quality, fit for our valued supermarket customers. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
Serious? Pity you have only fell half a | :16:08. | :16:08. | |
panicked. With a bit more practice, I would | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
practice, like this lot. Some people at home will be | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
thinking, why doesn't he just a British workers a bit of extra money | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
and maybe they will come and work the hen? | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
It isn't money. Our best workers are owning ?100 a day, way above the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
living wage. Everybody works hard. It is not a money issue, it's just | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
that we need a flexible workforce, and the need to be living with us. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
It just doesn't suit British people who want full-time jobs and not, | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
possibly, some people are quite flexible. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
The staff live on site, said a last-minute order comes in, they're | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
ready to go. He needs flexibility to make the business work. He's keen to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
point out his workers are not actually immigrants. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
This is the seasonal migration. It isn't immigration. It's nothing to | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
do with immigration. They love working in this country, but they | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
are not immigrants, they don't want to stay here. They want to earn | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
money, work hard and then go home. So what is the answer? The National | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
Farmers Union is lobbying the Government for special dispensation | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
to let pickers to come, work and leave. | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
We have to have access to labour that will come pick fruit and veg in | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
a field. Will pick, pack and process. Without those workers, we | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
can't make the long term investments we need to. And we urgently need | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
certainty on this. A shimmying that the button is pressed on Article 50, | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
we have two years. After that, there is a big question mark. The | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
businesses like ours, looking to invest on a five to ten year | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
framework, that's not good enough. Might some growers move there | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
business abroad away from Brexit Britain? | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
Already there are significant sized businesses who, with the degree of | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
uncertainty, are looking very seriously at whether to make | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
investment here or in land and production in southern and Eastern | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
Europe, or outside Europe altogether. | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Imports could mean higher prices for us, the consumer. Without foreign | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
workers, would we struggle to buy British? | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
We spend so much time in this country in a group bout horticulture | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
and agriculture promoting British freshness and local Rogers. We are | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
gritting great support from the consumer, if we haven't got a | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
seasonal workforce to pick our crops, what will happen? We will | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
have no business in the UK, everything will be replaced by | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
imports. Ironically, Brexit might mean less | :19:12. | :19:17. | |

the result of the EU referendum And that's before negotiations | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
on Brexit have even begun. For languages graduate | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Claire Edgeley, that's meant giving up a good job to start life again | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
in a new country. I made a deal with myself that, if | :19:58. | :20:11. | |
Brexit happens, I would hand in my notice the week after and leave. | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
Which wasn't ideal. I would have liked to stay a bit longer so I had | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
something solid on my CD and be able to save a little more. -- CV. | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
She's leaving a lot behind. When Claire first may she was moving to | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Poland and leaving her job, I wasn't completely surprised that you are | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
doing something, because Claire is consummate surprisingly. But -- | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
constantly surprising me. But I thought you maybe did give herself a | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
enough time to planet. I knew she was thinking about | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
leaving her job. Everything had gone outside and suddenly, and she was | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
going to Poland. -- upside down suddenly. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
I decided I would accelerate my move to Poland, because, as it's an idea, | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
it is an experience I was wanted to have, living in Poland. I'm a little | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
worried that other did it in two years' time, it wouldn't be so easy | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
for me to up sticks and go. Worries now, as a EU citizen, I can do that. | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
My name is Marta, I am from Krakow. It's not just one-way traffic, Marta | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
has made the opposite journey from Claire. The Brexit vote was | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
unexpected, but she's hoping it will change things for her. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
I took this challenge to come to the UK, because I want to become a | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
journalist. I finished and crackle University, and everywhere I applied | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
for a job. -- Krakow University. All the jobs what English. Marta | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
needs to speak good English to work as a journalist. Jazz a part-time | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
job and is trying at the language there. A friend is helping to settle | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
in. Erdington has one of the biggest Polish communities in the West | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Midlands. Marta is staying here as it will help improve her English. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
I will get experience and improve my job in journalism. I also hope I can | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
make some friends in the community. Claire's passion fruit Poland began | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
with a childhood visit to her grandad's house in Krakow. Gisela | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
Love at the country and culture. The Polish like in my family is my | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
maternal grandfather. He came from a little town not too far from Krakow, | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
where I want to go to. He had a remarkable life. | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
He came to England after the war. He was on a regional Poland that was | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
essentially Germany, and he was taken into the Army. However, | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
somehow, miraculous he managed to escape and arranged his papers to | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
get sent to England. He met my grandmother there. I'm looking into | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
the idea of getting dual citizenship, because I know | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
that's... I know that I will want to work in Europe again in the future. | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
As a EU citizen I can just go and there is not so much paperwork. The | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
sacrifices that I making, I have a job that I'm getting steady money in | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
from, and when I'm in Poland, I will have to build myself up steadily. At | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
first, my income would be so great. Select is a bit a risk. | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
It's never easy starting a new life in a foreign country, as Alicja | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
knows. She's polish and has made a life in Birmingham with her family. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
She runs the Polish expat Association, which has welcomed | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
centres like this one where Polish in Eastern European migrants can | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
comfort help and meet new people. Today is one of's first day as a | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
volunteer at the centre, helping with social media. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Hello. It is my first day of volunteering, is Alicja ya? | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Yes, take a seat, and I will bring her. | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
OK. Hello, Marta. Thank you for coming, I'm glad you decided to | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
volunteer with us. Come this way. They met thinks this kind of centre | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
is even more important after the Brexit vote. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
People voted for Britain to leave the EU because of migration. People | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
don't really like having high-level of migrants present in the UK. | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Obviously, there is always some hostile toys towards migrants, that | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
is the same everywhere. -- hostilities towards migrants. After | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
the vote it has focused negative feelings towards migrant | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
communities. I believe we can all live in harmony, I went different | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
communities and nationalities. This event is to do with a children's | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
writer, he wrote a lot of children's books. He is quite popular in | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
England, actually. It looks like a really fun day. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
There's lot for Claire to do. She wants to start her own business as a | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
translator. But despite speaking multiple languages, Polish isn't one | :25:41. | :25:42. | |
of them. I am going to a country where my | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
language skills aren't that great. And ah got to do things like sort | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
out a bank accounts, register myself, set up a business for | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
myself. It doesn't actually feel like I am going. Because I haven't | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
had too much time to prepare or think about it, and now I am a crude | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
going. It's hitting me that I'm getting on a plane. | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
Claire heads to the airport and dad is sad to see her go. | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
I worry a lot about her. One of my main worries is, would she be able | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
to earn a living and look after herself after we've gone? | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
So Claire's getting her new life in Poland. How is Marta getting on back | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
in the UK? And continue my voluntary work, that | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
is going to help me with my English. I hope the UK would choose the model | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
and the freedom of movement of people will remain. British people | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
living in Poland may be in the same situation at the moment. They cannot | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
plan how long they can stay. Claire is calling home. | :27:00. | :27:08. | |
Hello! Hello, Claire. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Are you all right? I'm lovely, you look lovely as well. However things | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
going? I have accommodation, a few things | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
lined up to look at. It's quite central, not too far away. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Don't forget, just keep your wits about you. Me and your mamma, we | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
worry quite a lot when you're away. Love you. Love you! | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Bye. Bye. I'm confident that Claire will get | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
where she wants to go. She may not go there in a straight line, but | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
she'll get there eventually. I think she'll as a self in the | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
culture. She's very adaptable, she finds it easy to meet people. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
-- as herself in the culture. There has been an Krakow for a few weeks | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
now, and has found somewhere to live. | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
Hopefully everything works out all right for me. It would be a great | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
place to live out the rest of my life is that is how things work out. | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
Well that's it for tonight from the true garden of England ? | :28:21. | :28:23. | |
We'll be back next week, see you then. | :28:24. | :28:35. | |
Inside it will be back next week with more stories you've brought us. | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
Including our paramedics about a devastating earthquake. -- paramedic | :28:43. | :28:53. | |
