Need some motivation to get up from bed on a gray Monday morning? Picture the early bird Harvey, running to South Ealing and meeting Kash at St Mary's Church, where a pallet stacked with fruit and veg awaited to be unpacked. The goods - rescued surplus food from supermarkets - were to be distributed to those in need in the early afternoon. But the delivery had to be first unloaded to the Food Cupboard. And who can handle this better than a pair of swift GoodGymers?

The stretch wrap on the pallet gathered plenty of water, so had to be removed carefully to avoid causing a deluge at the churchyard. The operation revealed exotic treasures, including fifteen boxes of tangerines! No one was really sure whether those small oranges were tangerines, satsumas, mandarins or easy peelers. But we marketed them as tangerines. Wait, did GoodGymers became salespeople?

After quickly unpacking the pallet, moving out crates, and breaking down boxes, Harvey and Kash asked Wayne for another job. Rather than suggesting sorting the fruit or hoovering, Wayne looked at Kash and said:

Can I ask you a big, big favour? Can you give out those tangerines to the children going to school? There will be a big surge of them soon.

That's how Kash and Harvey, not fearing any job and determined to avoid food waste, ended up as vendors.

Instead of the promised surge of children, came a surge of rain. The undeterred easy peeler dealers put themselves out there, and welcomed with a smile both downpour and rejection from cautious parents and children.

Would you like a tangerine? Or two? It's free - and has vitamin C! - Kash.

Have an orange,
Fight the scurvy,
Join the navy,
Become a pirate!
Tried this last week. Didn't work. No one wants to be a pirate these days. - volunteer Gary.

To stick to the marine theme, the promised wave of parents with schoolchildren eventually arrived closer to 9 am. There were even some takers, so Harvey scrambled to pass Kash more and more citruses. A couple of ladies took even a small bag of tangerines each for their families or to distribute at the school. The GoodGymers gave out almost half of a box, which was a pretty good result. Five minutes to nine, it became apparent that whoever was rushing past the church was already late to school. Not wanting to be late for work or whatever was next in their day, Harvey and Kash wrapped up and left enriched with sales experience.
