Ding dong.

Happily mobile, not in bed, and in a good mood.

Opens door.

Spotty ginger youth.

Seconds pass.

Few more seconds pass.

'Can I help you?' I ask, by this time thinking he maybe deaf and dumb, and have a hidden tray of dusters hidden under his anorak.

'You the householder?'

'Want a quote for new double glazing? He asked, whilst looking at my new double glazed windows.

'No thanks, they are perfectly alright.'

'You sure?'

'Quite sure, thanks.'

Stony silence as I close the door.

Him still visible through the glass, obviously at a loss at how on earth he hadn't made a sale.

Bless.
