Doorstep salesmen
It's so annoying and it seems to be happening quite frequently these days. We had a couple of suits round a few days ago trying to sell us new doors and windows. Then there were those mormans a few weeks ago...

I've just been interrupted in the middle of my work by yet another one of these people that turn up on your doorstep either selling stuff or getting home owners to fill in some sort of stupid survey questionnaire.

| 11-6-2008 | In many areas cold-calling is now illegal. Report them to your local trading standards office and the local police community safety. | bill |
| 24-4-2008 | Petralava - good for you girl! Doorstep calling is an irritation enough as it is, but when it's scum preying on old folk its a different story. The thought makes my blood boil. | Ben |
| 23-4-2008 | A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting my 83 yr old mum (as I do every other day).
During a cup of tea and conversation - her door bell rings.
Up she gets (bit doddery on her legs she is) and makes for the front door. I continue to smoke my cigarette, idly flicking through one of those household c...more | petralava |
| 19-9-2007 | I put my house up for sale with a local estate agent 3 weeks ago, since then the cold callers from other estate agents have been relentless !
Almost every two days I've had some guy who's driven up in his mini cooper wearing a shiny tie with a huge knot, knocking on the door trying to get...more | Dazzle |

Doesn't work for us, sellers ring the bell and say we are trying to save you money - the gall of it! | Justice4all |
| 21-5-2007 | I agree about cold-callers. It isn't on these days. A few years back I used to do a lot of canvassing for different companies and also bona fide market research door-to-door. Despite being out of work some time and seeing ads for such jobs, I won't touch them again. Over the years I've b...more | D |

| 25-4-2007 | Hire a manservant called Igor with a unbecoming disability to answer your door. Acquire a reputation in your neighbourhood that strange goings-on take place in your home, and that people actually seem to disappear if they ever visit you. Hang or fit large gothic appendages, such as gargoyles, on you...more | Mary Shelley |
| 20-4-2007 | Answer the door naked in future. That should see em off. | Equitable Joe |
| 19-4-2007 | No hawkers, no circulars, no beggars, no cold-callers, no-one! Absolutely no one should call! | My Castle is Inviolate |
| 19-4-2007 | I've just moved to a new house and without meaning to be big headed its worth a few quid (due to profit from my small property in the south) and this attracts cold callers.
I should put a sign up saying, big house, no money, if I need a driveway, valet, garage conversion, windows cleaned.......more | Just Moved |
| 19-4-2007 | what you should consider doing is putting a sign up on your doorstep and saying that you dont want these people bothering you between these hours, and then list a few companies, names or other stuff!!! | jamie |
