Throughput

"Business a bit slack?" I ask Noreen. It turns out that they're waiting for Mary to sign the orders.

"We usually keep things ticking over with the large print standing orders but we've not had any for a couple of months because we're waiting for her to sign the form."

It's an odd thing but when Noreen was soldiering on by herself last month (Betty being off sick) there was no sign of Mary from one day to the next. Just lately, with both of them being in and with a couple of people working extra hours to do some of the cataloguing, Mary's all over them like a rash.

But not so much as to sign the order forms.
