I cannot believe that it hasn't been said already.

TROLLYS!

They'll slow you down!
Good - that is an initiative to take weight from the shoulder, which itself is a health and safety issue, if it takes you longer - leave more in and the reason is...............well obvious.

Today; a good thing slowed me down. And maybe that is why the job can 'sometimes ' be good.

One of my favourite customers told me that she had become a Grandma for the third time. The smile on her face gave me a lift ; and had a good chat with her.

The point being; It's not always negative :Very Happy

Three gates to get to the door three gates to get back onto the street in a 10metre garden :crazy: can slow me down. Oddly there are four gates in one garden so by only passing through three I'm taking a short cut. Yeah, house is be-gnomed.
