"Yees ..."
"I ask you questions?"
"I'll do you a deal. For every answer I give you, you answer a question for me, yes?"
"I will indeed. Is your address -----"
It is not. I moved from there two years ago but he does not need to know that. "Yes. Now my question. Do you like reading?"
"Yes indeed. Who is your electricity provider?"
I named one. "Do you own an e-reader?"
"Yes, I have the Kindle. How much a month do you pay for electricity?"
I gave a figure. "What type of books do you read?"
"I like detectives. Sherlock Holmes, Inspector Morse, yes? Who is your gas provider?"
I told him. "Have you heard of Odessa Molinari?"
"No Madame, I have not."
"She is an exciting new author of detective fiction. She has several novels available on Kindle. Will you check out her work?" I had taken over the conversation. I went on to describe my books and he promised to take a look. He only bought one but hey, another 85p commission.
