(PS2B2) |
[653] And a male collector. [654] So that's me got four and I've got another five to do and I had a telephone call from field controller in Edinburgh last night and I really do think I don't know how I managed to keep my tongue still. [655] Comments like, I suggest instead of wasting time on leads, I suggest you try knocking on doors. [656] That is the only way you will find them. [657] I said, Well Anne Avril and I knocked on eighty five doors on Thursday evening before we got one contact. [658] I said i can go out and walk the streets for hours and find no one. |
(PS2B4) |
[659] Right. |
(PS2B2) |
[660] I says, I have to follow up leads. [661] Yes but I'm not interested in you following up leads, I'm interested in nine interviews.

[666] Right away I said, I have three people to find for working class areas who collect stamps, who are interested in stamps. [667] I said, People generally have more to do with their money. [668] And of course what defeated me was [...] knows this fellow that is an ambulance driver and he's classed as working class. [669] And he stays in a four-bedroomed detached house. [670] But his wife's a school teacher and that's why. |
(PS2B4) |
[671] Yes well [...] . |
(PS2B2) |
[672] So you're not going to get that [...] like I mean that that was a one in a million shot, finding |
(PS2B4) |
[673] Yes. |
(PS2B2) |
[674] him. |
(PS2B4) |
[675] I would say so. |
(PS2B2) |
[676] And I w was telling Bill about him and as Bill said it's a waste driving an ambulance. [677] He d actually designs stamps and first day covers. |
(PS2B4) |

(PS2B2) |
[679] A work of art Jean. [680] Absolute work of art. [681] You just couldn't believe what the man has done. |

Bill (PS2B3) |
[703] down and sit writing long hand? |
(PS2B2) |
[704] No. [705] No I think they'll mean it's number of stamps . |
Bill (PS2B3) |
[706] Cos I rarely ever do that. |
(PS2B2) |
[707] I think it's they look for the number of stamps used rather if it's what you |

Bill (PS2B3) |
[710] Okay. |
(PS2B2) |
[711] I would say that. [712] Even though you don't physically write them. [713] Even dictating them I think you should count that as writing. |
Bill (PS2B3) |
[714] Do you count that? |
(PS2B2) |
[715] I think so though . |
Bill (PS2B3) |
[716] Oh. [717] Oh well. |
