Can You Come Back Next week

Often amusing, laugh out loud funny in parts, sometimes thought-provoking, and occasionally tear jerking, “Can You Come Back Next Week?” is an account of one young collector/salesman’s exploits and adventures selling goods on credit door to door in the poorer areas of Glasgow in the 50s and 60s. If you lived through those times, you will find memories galore in these words, and for those who did not, it proves an evocative glimpse into a time past, where a radiogram which loaded ten records at once was the height of luxury, to be paid for scrupulously week on week, even though your kids ran around in vests and bare bums. Set upon by a sword-wielding maniac, dangled from a twenty-first storey balcony, and being offered it “on a plate” in lieu of payment – life in the Credit Trade was certainly never dull!
