Two failures to report.

I failed to refuse to take a copy of the Watchtower from two English Jehovah's Witnesses who live in a neighbouring village. I need a strategy for the return visit they will no doubt make.

I failed to resist a bribe from Carrefour to sign up for a loyalty card. At least they don't have either my email address or my phone number so perhaps I'll just get more junk mail than usual and the €10 came in handy.

On the Jehovah's Witnesses return visit, why not present them with a copy of a magazine related to your favourite subject, and then commence to talk to them about it in the most minute and technical detail that you can. It's only fair, since they'll want to do the same to you with their magazine. Who knows, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Nonsense. Tell them you liked/did not like/did not read their magazine, as the case may be. Should they speak further, or ask a question or two, answer it/do not answer it/ wish them happy days/etc as you see fit. It's not such a crisis. They're just people.
