door to door

[bigstraight6]

It must be the times we are living in at the moment, I've had a few 'door to door' artisans offering there wares/services recently, there was a couple of swarthy looking gentlemen in a VW transporter offering to clean my gutterings, a chap in a Renault Kangoo with an array of fish, and the best one was a few weeks ago, when a little Diahatsu van with a big speaker on the roof appeared and a voice rang out "anything sharpened" then the driver opened the rear door to expose a nice collection of small grinding wheels!....

My scissors need sharpening! Although in true post-modern consumerist fashion I'll probably chuck them out and get a new pair from Asda.

I delivered pizzas with my Amazon for a while.Although I didn't actually make enough to cover the fuel bills, and we had a couple of people complain 'because my pizza \ kebab \ cat in a bun smelt of oil'.GR8 DAIZ.

^ I'm doing that now in my Whizzkid!(Though not a career choice, only to get me out of the house a few hours a two nights a week as I'm stuck in all day).

Count yourself lucky. We have tree 'surgeons' almost queueing down the drive, but the nearest to a tree we have is this modest effort which doesn't even block the view of the wheelarch of a Scania tipper

Don't chuck them out, keep them in the kitchen drawer with the other seven similar pairs, they may come in handy one day.

 

If ever a day comes when you need blunt scissors that is

Like when the hiab pikeys take your car away without being asked

We get east european men trying to sell paintings of 'Orses on a regular basis, oh and the usual parade of double glazing and utility provider twats on commission (I unleash the dogs on them), plus 'ratman' doing charity collections (I always put in a couple of quid when he comes, cos he remembers and insists on buying me a pint or two in the boozer for being so generous, thus I finish "up" on the whole deal. That's about it though.

Reminds me, did you ever get the dwell set? I've had the meter kicking about the boot of my car for about a fortnight now...

..."anything sharpened" ...

My wit could do with a little sharpening.

Now that everyone in the world has upvc double glazing, the salesman here are offering to staple upvc sheeting onto anything and everything. They seem particularly keen on selling us soffit boards, which are already plastic and doing a very good job of demonstrating how fugly upvc soffit boards look when they get dirty.A '30s semi opposite had the bright idea of replacing the red tiles over and under their bay windows with strips of white plastic. Now it looks like they tried to make their own bay window using bits from old caravans.
