To ask if you have heard of or use the expression “all found”

[Flossyfloof]

We were discussing the need for fruit pickers this morning and wondering where they would be housed. I suggested that the job would be “all found”. Partner has never heard of this. I don’t think it’s that unusual, is it??

Not a clue what it means, sorry!

Never heard of this

Yes.

Yes, I know what it means.

Yes

Yes - means food and accommodation included.

It's not an expression I've heard for years though.

Yes, I've heard of it and probabky used it, back in the day.

Never heard of it

Never heard it. Mind I had never heard the word ‘furlough’ before last month

All found can vary a bit. You might be provided with food to cook or you might get cooked meals.

Yes, though I've only read it in novels, I don't think I've heard anyone say it.

Never heard of it

Never heard of that

No never heard of it

I was employed all found as a teenager in the 80s. It does mean that you can save almost all of what you earn.

Yes, heard of it.

Yes, I know what it means. I used to see jobs in hotels that would say "all found" - I was always jealous as they'd keep so much of their wages just for spending (though they probably earned very little anyway.)

Yes, but I would think it’s a bit archaic perhaps.

Never heard of it!

I'm familiar with it as a phrase used in job adverts for jobs like nannies and live/in jobs in hotels. I might be older than most posters though! (late 50s).

Never heard of it.

Never heard of it.

Yes. It's a slightly old-fashioned expression but I'm familiar with it.
