Hi Ben, Just thought I'd add my tuppence worth.

Canvassing on a saturday is good in that you'll find lots of people at home. I always used to canvass on a saturday. But what I've found is that just because they're at home of a weekend doesn't mean to say that they're gonna be at home during the week when you want to clean their windows because they're out working themselves.

The best canvassing to be had (in my humble opinion) is weekdays in the afternoon. OK you won't get nearly as many people at home but those that are are generally unlikely to have a mon-fri, 9-5 job. Eg: mums with small children, retired people etc.

Anyway good luck.

Simon

Who does (ie get in the army due to their A Levels)? 

Anyway, welcome to the trade; it's more 'character' than academic, when it comes to sticking at this job and not being a 'fly by night'; so you should fit in well.

Where in the UK are you?
