i wouldn't call it a good un but i simply tell them i'm pushed for time and have to go.
The weather lately makes this easier.

I say "im counting my time" so I've got to go!!!

Paul Coleman

I just ask them what the time is.  Whatever they answer I just say that I must crack on as I need to finish early today.  I nip chat in the bud a lot more quickly than I used to - unless of course it's a day when I don't fancy doing much.

I just tell them i'm a bit behind because of people stopping for a chat and have got to get on.

I usually get the reply "don't you hate people like that - they must have a boring life having to stop people working, just so they have someone to talk too.

Sometimes though it gives them something else to talk about ::)

Makes me smile each time though  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Edd I spent a term at Tarring then onto St Andrews, I Knew someone who lived in Rugby r.d he sold me a dodgy motorbike and sidecar ;D.
Re meeting up let me know nearer the time and I'm sure we could grab a beer somewhere. 
Though I havent looked outside of worthing for wfp gear it is rather limited, the cleaning shop in Teville gate is still there and thats the only place that I'm aware of that does anything and thats all Ionics with very little that you can buy off the shelfs, I once asked the guy for loose resin and all he could offer was a Ionics Di vessel.
There is one other shop in Sompting that deals with Tucker but again nothing on the shelf.

Remember them custies that want to chat to you will be the ones who chat to the neighbors and get you more work. I find that the ones that I stop a give 5 mins to send a lot of work my way. So for the sake of 5 mins chatting I probably save an hour canvassing.

its nice to get on with work .but olso nice to stop n chat few mins with custys .only takes few mins to be polite . espec with the oldies.

I have started taking my wife so if anyone wants a chat they chat to the wife and she can talk the hind legs off a donkey.

I do the job pack up and then the wife says well i better not stand here chatting any longer i will be in trouble with my husband and off we go.

The wife never does much work anyway usually the doors by hand and i just WFP the rest.

And off course taking the wife i don't pay her she just take's the money whether she come's to work or not.
