My book of anecdotes ON THE KNOCKER

An interesting short read that will take you back. Not really a story but a memorable description of the past. I had no job. But the love for antiques.
So it was the 1970s when I chanced trying my passion buying and selling antiques without at that time having the money to open a shop. So that was my start to the most interesting job I could ever imagine
ON THE KNOCKER.
Before the 70s.
Most older people will remember the door to door salesman. Either selling brushes buckets soaps shampoos and similar goods.
The high pressure salesmen that called regularly. Some were
Selling the famous KIRBY vacuums cleaners. that sold for over £1000. That amount of money as you can imagine was a fortune in those days. They were so high quality and really heavy. Mostly the large homes and hotels had these. They were usually sold on the weekly payments system. The salesman received about £200 or so in commission. I still can remember a few of them. Smart gentleman with often a moustache and beige camel coat. One could spot them a mile away.
The book will be ready soon and it is full of really interesting anecdotes. True stories.
