On Monday night, just before ten, there was a knock at my front door.
In my pulsating neighbourhood most callers at such an hour are either
practised grifters or mentally unwell - or both. On this occasion,
though, four medium-sized boys stood at the bottom of the steps: Asian
boys, aged eleven or twelve, one wearing a Chelsea shirt, a couple,
religious headgear.
"Hello," I said. My tone was a friendly lets-hear-it-then. They had
"scam" written all over them - but what kind of scam would it be?
