Do you faff around?
New research reveals that the vast majority of Brits (80 per cent) admit to wasting time everyday. Just under half estimate they ‘faff around’ for as much as 2-3 hours a day. Waiting around for the kids, colleagues and queuing top the list of how Brits waste their time
New research into how the average Brit spends their time, by the Learning and Skills Council to celebrate Skills and Apprenticeships, reveals the huge amount of time, an average of 40 days a year, which is wasted by Brits as they live up to their reputation as the world’s greatest faffers.

This is not how I understand faffing.
This is how I understand ‘faffing around’
The art of doing something without achieving anything”
or ‘to fool around and not get something done’.
Now that’s what really annoys me when people faff around
Both waiting around for kids and queuing to achieve something – you get the kids, you get what you queue for.
