Re: RPresta
Sob, sob, I remember once an Indian came to our door. He said to my Dad 'You nasty Gypsy Man. My Dad turned as red as a turkey cock. He said, I'll give you bloody Gypsy man.
'No no you nice man ' We kids were all falling about laughing. But we kept quiet for a while.

Re: I remember when the Fuller Brush man came around with the latest
Well we only went around the local villages Pat. Always had to bless a baby with silver and give everyone a present at Christmas. Not a very good business technique

Re: Re: Corbin
We had a Morris Van with windows, sold nearly everything, but folk were too friendly in those days and it meant much tea drinking.

Re: Haven't had any human hawkers this way for a long time
Every thing is to get folk to spend money Kat. Look at the stuff to grow a few plants.
My brother is grassing his garden over ,he said it is cheaper to buy veg.

Now it's the barrage of ads on-line and t.v. And the spying to target potential customers is really creepy..
Good one, CC!

I remember when the Fuller Brush man came around with the latest
cleaning potions and gadgets. And there was a guy who sold spices.
No, I do not remember buggy whips!

Hawkers have been around quite a while, and always will be, I think. They promise anything.
