An unwanted rebuke

'Your house needs cleaning'. These were the opening words of a little handmade flyer (well, more of a scrap of paper) put through my door, advertising a cleaning service.

How do they know? Who told them? Yes, it's true, my house does need cleaning, but these are matters I generally prefer to keep private. Has someone been peeking through my letterbox?

This is not an approach which is likely to endear me to the services offered by the flyer. I really don't need to be told how dirty my house is. My current cleaner tells me off quite enough already.
