dubious callers?

[cathg]

don't like to think of myself as a suspicious type, but just had knock on the door from man with ladder saying that he'd noticed our aerial was wobbly and did we want it fixed. I said no thanks but offered to take the business card he was holding. He said it was ok, he'd put one through our door later. Noticed out the window that there was no name on side of (white) van. Anyone else has a visit?

Probably correct to be suspicious Cathg. Wouldn't you have to have hawkilke eyesight to spot a wobbly aerial from the street?. I suspect while up on the roof he might have found some other little jobs that wanted doing. Could be perfectly legit, though not giving you a card he was holding in his hand seems a little odd. Perhaps he didn't want to put you through the trouble of having to carry it back into the house with you.

If I was a betting man I'd be putting my little all on him being a ne'erdowell, if not a scoundrel.
