So that's how they know my name.

I could well be on a JW blacklist somewhere -we haven't had any call in four and half years.

We're really too far out of the way, over here. They have to walk hundreds of yards between each house/farm...Though they did come round on one occasion.
We just politely asked them not to bother, and they've never returned.

I do remember (must be almost 40 years ago now...Von & I were still living in our first home together ) one knocking on the door and showing me a page of their latest leaflet.

"Isn't this a wonderful creation ?....A diagram of the human eye." Says she.

Seeing as I passed A level Zoology, I DO know the difference between a cross section of the human eye and a cross section of the female reproductive system. (I think virtually anyone would spot that the latter didn't bear a great deal of resemblance to an eye.)

I didn't correct her though.

I used to share a house with a very very very lovely Christian lass,
Anytime we had a caller it was: "Nick, it's for you!" And she would emerge to talk God/s, armed with her bible and the fallacy of their arguements. 😈

The Witnesses are generally very pleasant, and are always willing to say 'bye and go when asked. The double glazing salesmen and the cavity wall insulation salesmen however...

We used to set Nick on them too!

"Can I speak to the man of the house?"

"GOD IS THE MAN OF THE HOUSE! AND SHE IS A WOMAN!"

Our classic was "Is your mum in?"
House of students: "NICK,"

She's never forgiven us...

(Daughter answers)
(Foreign accent - probably midlands) 'Can I speak to Mr Henry'
(Daughter) 'Can I inquire as to the nature of this call'
(Caller) 'Its his bank here'
(Daughter) 'Wait a moment please, I'll just get him'
Daughter puts phone on hold, makes cup of tea, does some baking, has a shower ...

Stop it ! 

I now WANT them to phone me again.
