After School
Meter Readings
Sometimes after school we have people who knock on our front door.
Sometimes they are religious preachers', who hand out letters from their daily readings', they can be from any faith group and knock at anytime of the day, they usually knock on our door in pairs'.
Sometimes they are people who deliver food advertising pamphlets'.
Sometimes we have people knocking on our door looking for relatives that live at another door.
Sometimes they knock on our door to sell all sorts of assortment items'.
Sometimes mum talks to them and sometimes mum doesn't, she told me, sometimes she's just too busy to answer the door, especially when she's not expecting anyone in-particular.
Sometimes mum doesn't have any choice but to stop her house duties and take the call, she told me, especially when its the ' Meter Man '.
I said to her, " Whose the ' Meter Man ' ", Mum told me, that the Meter Man, is the man who calls to check how much energy people consume in their homes', and then they issue you a bill item for the amount of gas energy and or electric energy people use.
Sometimes they like to talk for a few minutes and other times they say nothing at all.
Sometimes mum likes to talk to them and other times she doesn't, she told me, it all depends what mood she's in, how her days been at work, sometimes, she said, she just feels either too tired and sick to be polite, but either-way, she said, they always deliver the bills on time, and most of all of the time they take the time to be polite when visiting for their annual reviews'.
When the meter man visits, sometimes I am in and sometimes I am out.
There's always only one of those, they never come in pairs'.
How They Dress
The Meter Man has a uniform.
He is very distinctive.
He dresses in a blue shirt and black trousers.
He has a meter reading identity badge that he has pinned to his shirt, to say who he is.
He has a measuring units machine that counts energy.
With this, he enters the numbering units on our home meter.
Tapping them in, in serial like motion.
Then he say's " All done then ".
" That's it, then " Mum sometimes' say's.
" Yes , " he say's, that's it.
" Bye then ".
" Bye " She say's ".
They are very busy people themselves, mum say's, sometimes they have to visit up to one hundred homes a day, and that makes them very tired people.
Mum told me, that not all of their costumers like them, and that their job can be a little threatening at times', but she never bullies them, because she understands that their just people doing their job.
