We don't have the monstrosity called "the siren" here - We have the I'm Bored Please Buy Something Off Of Me person. I ignore them or go to my back-up line:
"Hello, would you be interested in ********?"
"Ah, another item I don't need."
I have been known to ask horrible questions like: "Does this thing have an EU kitemark? Is it fireproof? Why don't batteries come included?"
Now, however, I shop in the high street and in the back alleys, where people are people and not souless selling machines. For some reason, looking student-ish makes salespeople honest. They know you've seen it all before - and worse, you might just be a lawyer in training.
