Wilson is a bit despondent after doing some more calculations.
'There are nine days until Xmas,' he explained. 'Allowing, say, 2½ minutes for each house, 4,600 houses will take more than 21 hours a day! I should have started this back in August!'
He pondered for a moment, then asked me, 'Do you think householders might be annoyed by Carol Singers calling at, say, 2am? Because if they're a bit cross, that might result in reduced donations.'
However, he has produced a 'Rate Card' of Suggested Donations for when he starts carolling this evening, 'So that people won't be embarrassed by not knowing how much to give!'
If you live in Uckfield, do listen out for him — he'll be setting off with his choir in a few minutes.
