You'll remember the harassed waitress from your local Chinese restaurant. You've noticed those builders across the street working funny hours and without helmets. You've eaten the lettuce they picked or bought the microwave they assembled. The words cockle-pickers Morecambe Bay Chinese illegals found dead in lorry will ring a bell.
