Oddly enough, my Mam was a Avon lady for a while.

Mrs V is considering it too, as we can't seem to keep one around here for more than six months and she hates ordering online

Good luck to her, I was not aware that it was even still a 'thing'!

 

[Deleted member 1258]

I had not thought of that.

No, for any non UK members or people under a certain age, Avon was/is a toiletries and make up company who recruited people to go round everyone's doors, looking to sell things through their catalogue. Once you got said catalogue and gave the rep the order sheet, 'your' Avon rep would deliver.

It was usually young woman looking to make a bit of extra money.
They would also give make up demonstrations, etc.
Because of the feminine nature of it all

'Yer Da Does Avon!'

Or

'Your Dad Does Avon!'

Was and still is, a relevant insult. 😆


*Knock on the door*

'Muuuum, it's the Avon woman!'

I've not come across that one as an insult before, in this day and age I wouldn't have thought that would work.

We're good friends with our Avon Lady.

I did. It's turned out to be Mrs V

I think he got the words Free and Sex around the wrong way

It certainly was in the past and still is in certain circles/age ranges.

To be honest, I think the Blake's Seven reference is even more obscure these days
