Tales of a Ubuntu salesman
Currently in the midst of moving both home and business I am currently exhausted in the extreme. Most of the past week has been spent decorating and it was not possible to attend all the business biscotti meetings I wanted to. However the Slough meeting was rather interesting and for the second time I found [...]

To start with an apology for the massive delay in writing this article. We are in the middle of a house move and it is quite simply chaos! In spite of the rather defeated tone of my last report at the Tottenham Court Road computer fair there was a silver lining to it all in [...]

Well we’ve made it, despite the fuel shortages we’re at the fair today! I can’t help but be baffled though by the lorry driver I was acosted by this morning as I filled up with an almighty £10. According to him, in all seriousness it’s people like me who caused the jams by only filling [...]

This should be a rather tricky report tonight, full of promise and frustration both at the same time. I’m not sure if it’s the weather, or the economy, or something else entirely, but this weekend has been extremely hard going and I know that I am not the only trader who has struggled to turn [...]

I must start with an apology for not attending the Bristol fair this week. Due to a combination of poor driving conditions and a severe lack of sleep this was not possible. Due to idiots getting in my way and causing me to stop in the snow (and then being unable to get going again) [...]

Well, what can I say? It’s been an absolutely fantastic day! I really must say thanks to Matt for having me at the fair, it’s been a record breaking day for me in several respects. We were provided with a steady trickle of public who critically were spending and very readily engaging with the stallholders. [...]
