Knock at the door
We had a visit from a guy selling some kind of solar power deal today. I can't imagine anyone buying anything on the doorstep but still they come.
These days they often begin by saying they aren't selling anything. Not a good start I always think – kicking off with an obvious lie. Anyhow I told the sunny solar chap I wasn't interested.
“Why – are you anti-green?” he asked brightly, as if such a thing was unthinkably gross but hey – I'm a grey-haired oldie so it's always possible.
“No I said, but it has to be subsidised…”
“You mean the feed-in tariff. To me that's really good because you make money from solar power which has to be a good thing. I could give you a quote to see how much that could be.”
“No thanks, it's only viable because of the feed-in tariff.”
For some reason that reply seemed to put him off completely. He closed down the conversation and departed as if he simply wasn't interested in presenting figures to anyone who might actually understand them. As if I'd flipped a switch on his script.
