Re: Doorstep Salesmen

So we demand to know how did they get in, and then tell them to go away.

Re: Doorstep Salesmen

Now listen 'ere Nomkins, a funny thing just happened.

I had just got home from the vets half hour ago, and was out the front getting my bins in, when I was aware of a van pulling up next to me.
When I looked up, guess who it was? . . .

It was only my friendly block paving man again, sitting in his van grinning.

I called over and said . . "The answers still No."

Whereupon he grinned and replied . . "I got it wrong ya know. You asked me if I thought you had just fallen off a Christmas tree. I gave the wrong answer. I should have said "Yes, you were the Angel off the top."

What a smoothie.

He did make me laugh though - but I still told him to get gone.

You are being very frivolous today young Swims.
You must have been up to no good, and it has put a new spring in or step. I like it - I think.
