Where have all the suffragettes gone?

I haven't seen them at my door seems like forever. And drunk people, too. No Ed Sullivan impersonators either.

Who else used to ring the doorbell but seems to have vanished into thin air?

Funnily enough two turned up at my door only yesterday (seven days after your question.)

The previous local evangelist, an elderly woman living in the next street, had left me alone after her two or three fruitless visits. These were two young women, new visitors with a new tactic: not an attempt to patronise me on the doorstop with a load of rot, but an invitation to come and visit their newly-refurbished chapel.

Politely I said, "No thank-you", and added, "I am not religious but if I was there's a perfectly good church up the road!" This being the Anglican parish one that has served the local faithful since the 13th or 14th Century... so Church of Rome until Heny VIII's time. Last time I was in it was for an organ recital, not a service.

They didst wish me well and departed henceforth unto next-door.

LOL

Excellent closing sentence to your comment!
