A long time ago in a town far, far away, Rapscallion (moi!) was once employed as a door-to-door canvasser for uPVC windows. I was young and I needed the money, though I didn't necessarily get the money.
Our team hadn't met the quota of leads for the week, so we decided to try and gain some extra trade on Saturday morning. Suited and booted, we went across to an area of Bradford and - some of us hungover - looked around. None of us wanted to be there.
"Meh," I said, or the pop culture equivalent of the day. "I remember the last time I was here."
"Really?" asked one of my immediate colleagues.
I brought out the diary I kept my lead information in and riffled through. "Aye," I said. "I got three leads that day." I pointed them out.
They looked at me. I looked back. There were four of us. Our team leader wandered across to where a group of workmen were fitting new windows and got a lead for potential wholesale selling to another outfit.
By common consensus, the other three of us put in a lead from history each, all from six months ago in my diary.
Two of them sold.
So, any fortuitous and unlikely events in your favour? Tell all.
