Many years ago, my late and dear brother in law used to be a collector, door to door for Littlewoods Pools. One evening on collecting their weekly coupon and cash from a particular house, the lady answered the door and curtly informed him "Please, don't call again; we had rather a spectacular win last week and don't wish to partake any further!" Abruptly she firmly closed the door in his face. Being a sensitive sort of chap, he narrated this tale to me in rather a hurt manner and said that he received a commission for doing his round but it would have been rather nice to have been offered a drink for his trouble as they had enjoyed a lucky win. Folk can be a tad strange!
