Toddler talking over you

Hey, does anyone have any advice of what to do...
When im having a conversation with someone, my 2 and half year old has starting to shout random words, copy us etc while we are speaking. I know it's attention or him trying to be involved but it's getting a bit too much now.

I taught mine to come and hold my hand when they wanted my attention. When they did I'd thank them and say I'd help them in a minute, quickly finishes my conversation and then help. And as he learnt I would help I was able to extend the time I carried on talking for before attending to him.

I say 'G, Mummy is talking now. It's rude to talk over people.' Then I finish what I was saying. Once I'm done I ask him what it was that he wanted.
