I haven't seen a Gypsy woman selling wooden clothes pegs and lucky heather for very many years.

Pity as I could do with some new pegs!

It could be because she said "Would you buy from a Gypsy" and I replied "Would you"?

At one time we had the following people knocking at our door for money or some other reason;

Rent man
Milk man
Window cleaner
Insurance man x2
The Tally man (loans)
The Breadman
Rag and Bone man (monthly)
The Catholic priest
Gas man & Electric man (meter reading)
Lemonade man
Coal man

Its a wonder the effing door wasn't worn out, we occasionally hid from the rent man and priest I recall.

The priest always called on a Friday evening when you were having meat for tea - panick stations. Once they collected the dosh they were probably going home to fillet steak Laugh
