Avon still make home visits here..or at least they did up until last year when they last left a catalogue here and an order form ... and I just left it back out for her to collect...unordered..
I remember we used to have all sorts of deliveries here as well.
WE had a grocery mobile shop .. where there was enough space to step insde for about 3 people and there was a little counter in there.. and that came twice a week ..
This wasn't it, but it was similar to this...
then there was the bakers van, the butchers' van... the Fizzy Pop ( soda) van... the paper girl or boy, The milkman ( the latter still comes to some houses )... The coalman
I married the butcher boy..
