I'm always puzzled when threads so old show up...and surprised if th OP
sees it and responds. 
The thought of going door to door...not me. If you ever hear that I was you'd know
all the cows, even in Australia, have made it home.
 
This did make me curious though...did you ever knock on a door and they tried to sell you
some of their music?

I'm more puzzled as to why Moshkiae has the same avatar as jamescollins. 
 
Selling music "door to door" is nothing new however - the hip hop kids have been doing this in New York since the 80's. OK so not door to door, but on the street and "car to car" on the subway. It does however take a certain amount of balls...
 
Not sure I could do door to door again. I did it for a while in the 90's, selling kitchens and double glazed windows. Actually made a pretty good living off of it, but the thing about door to door is that you have them slammed in your face a hundred times for every one person who expresses and interest. A lot of people are annoyed that they've had to interrupt the viewing of their favorite TV crap in order to get up and answer the door. Every now and then someone would answer the door with a look on their face that would render me speechless and I'd just stand there looking like an escapee from the local mental hospital before turning around and walking away without saying a word.

And now you spam the forums (for Norfolk)?

Funnily enough I have a sneaking sussppicciion that the company that was spamming the forum with kitchen ads was the same company I used to work for back in the UK 15 years ago. They changed their name every couple of years but I would recognize their blurb anywhere.

Heh, this reminds me of the time my friend (the manager of an organs & pianos store) had a knock on the door by two Mormons selling religion.  They left after my friend sold them an organ!  LOL!

The Maillard Reaction
I once had a contract to outfit a yearly influx of young men with "fleet" bicycles as Tallahassee has a regional training program for their period of service. When they were trained they would be sent out to work in smaller towns across the region.
 
The Elder and I got along very well and he taught me some wonderful things about win win business practice.
 
The young men were a pleasure to help out. When they needed a repair they would stop in and we would fix them up while they hung out with the kids who collected tattoos.
 
Good times had by all.
 
best regards,
mike
