There’s also one going around with a loud hailer, selling beds or mattresses.

Wow - are they back? 

Not heard that distinctive trilling noise and their loud hailer since well before Covid times.

Is there a circus in town?

Sometimes if you look at the car/truck it will be obvious what it is blaring out...

We had a car in the village going around with a speaker selling melons...
