Earlier today I was busy doing something and someone knocked at my front door. I couldn't get to the door in time before they walked away, so I went to look out my top window and saw a man and a woman walking away up the road which leads to a dead end eventually (with farmers fields beyond that), or loops back around to my house. I watched to see if they went to any other houses and they didn't. Nothing unusual so far, but i wondered who they were.
Couple hours later someone knocked at the front door again. My front door is a sort of porch with 4 large glass panels, and looking through I could see it was them again and they were wearing suits and had folders etc. so thought ah, they're just selling things and probably come back to me at the end of their rounds, so didn't bother answering. However, I looked out the top window again and saw them walking up the dead end road again without visiting any other houses. The man also had an umbrella with him folded down, which he had the first time as well, although it had not been raining and wasn't looking to all day, and i was curious as to why he made sure to bring it each time. So this time, I wondered who they actually were.
Then about 7oclock this evening, I'm watching TV and there's a knock, so assuming it's them I go to the door and it is. The bloke says, "hi, how are you?....", and pauses then says "dont worry it's nothing serious...", (an odd thing to say I thought if you're just selling stuff), "are you the billpayer of the household?". I told him I wasn't and that she works away during the week (truth) and he replied, "oh so there's no point coming back later then?" (when it's already 7oclock), and I said no. The woman was also with him but said nothing.
As they started to walk away I asked him what it was regarding, and he replied "lowering your electricity/gas bills" (can't remember which), and I just said "okay" and shut the door. Odd to be so eager for 1 house I thought. I then went upstairs to the window again, and once again they are walking back up the road to the dead end, ignoring all other houses.
The more I think about it, the more suspect it seems. Anyone have any ideas?
