Dizzy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Don't quote me, but I think you will find they are o.k. They called on us this morning (although we didn't buy anything) but I think we had a "cold call" prior to this about a week or so ago asking whether we were interested. We weren't. They had a white transit van loaded with fish, and they are probably just a couple of blokes trying to earn a bob or two. Worth having a look in the van next time to make sure, but don't leave house unattended! If buying fish by weight, check their scales! I know you said "don't quote me" Middlec but I had to so you knew I was replying to you Thanks for that. Sounds like they might have been genuine then, Were the ones who called at yours really grubby and scruffy too. Maybe today's was a cold call too as like I said they didn't seem to have anything with them. No idea if the old white transit that passed a few minutes later was with them but may have been from what you said. Nothing wrong with a few blokes trying to earn a bob or two but maybe the ones who came here (if that's what they were doing) should at least consider smartening themselves up a bit and maybe having a wash etc so they get more sales and look more genuine etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 and the chances of door to door fish salesmen in an unmarked white van with Irish accents paying taxes are......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Not all us Irish are dodgy Dizzy :shock: Oooh Asp I didn't mean that. I was just saying they sounded Irish and it was their words and their looks etc that seemed dodgy not their actualy accent. Have you got an Irish accent If so can I give you my phone number so I can hear you speak instead of reading your words on here. Cracking accent and I could listen to it all day. I rather like the accent of the local gypsies/static travellers around here too and love being in the local shop when they are in. Eeek not saying you are a traveller by the way... actually thinking about it you are cos you go all over the place on a boat. I think I'd better stop now before I need a JCB to dig my hole deeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeborn John Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm sure they're really scrupulous about throwing away all the fish that gets past its sell by date...not. Russian roulette with seafood, good luck with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 You can tell easily if fish is past it's sell by date, it stinks! Anyone who buys stinking fish needs their head looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Fresh kippers have a different stink from an out of date fish stink. It's illegal to sell door to door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
