Richard ClementsGUEST
and a few of us got together and I think you were part of the group then and this is when we sort of and we had some people and another person from Brentwood Paul and then Kerry, the two Kerrys from Canvey Island so we're all and me sort of stuck out on a limb in Woodson but still close enough and that's when we all sort of started to meet up on occasion and we sort of went out on a couple of sort of like investigations but I do remember the first place we went to do you remember that?
Andy MercerHOST
I'm trying to think We, I want to correct you one small detail.

DanGUEST
you're probably looking 200 or 300, same as Chelmsford.
RyanHOST
Before we expanded and we were doing Chelmsford, Whitlam, down to Basildon, Canvey, I found that the 550 customer mark was when every job was within a minute or two of another job we had.
RyanHOST
They might not have fallen on the same cycle if they were eight weeklies, but they were on within a minute or two of another job we've got.
DanGUEST
My father-in-law's noticed it as well.
RyanHOST
It's not like you can knock out five or six jobs on the way in.
