Where??

slinky · 11-10-2007, 11:56

Where can I get one of those " NO COLD CALLER " signs for my door from??

I'm sick to death at the moment, every tea time same thing ...

Knock on door " do you want to change Electric/gas/phone supplier "

I am not usually a nasty person!! but one fella got the bad end of me yesterday!!

He had called round and I told my son to answer door and tell him I was busy on the phone.

10 minutes later he came back!! so I went door and said " No I am not interested " .......... he said " but, but, but " I just said " Look no But's or if's I am not bloody interested in any fantastic deals you say you can do " and shut the door on him!!

He was from Scottish Electricity

Please tell me where I can get one from, then if they call, I will slam their bloody head into the sign so they can have a closer look!!

Got mine from the community beat warden in a pack from a community fun day a few years back - still the darn door sellers dont bother to read or ignore 'em so usually they get the sharp rant of 'cant u read the sign - pee off'! Otherwise contact trading standards & see if they do them.

Get a big scary dog be easier

lol

I once saw a sign that said ...NEVER MIND THE DOG BEWARE OF THE WIFE.................MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME, Its the same with tele salesmen ,,but why do they always pick teatime and when your watching corrie etc,,,,maybe its because they know your in..ggrrrr

Easiest way is to go to the door in a bad mood. Women and bad moods usually frighten the hell out of me

Well he got the gist of my mood yesterday, what part of " NO " do the numpties not understand??

if I wanted to change Phone/Electric/Gas/windows or have Life insurance and health insurance I would go in the cupboard, take out the yellow pages, look through the index, find number, get the phone, push the little bloody buttons and CHANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

god they wind me up

Scottish Power were at my door yesterday too. I am a Scottish Power customer already, so that makes me think that these callers are NOT representing the company, but are likely to be opportunist thieves.
A campaign against it starts soon in Blackburn
Residents say â€˜NOâ€™ to Cold Callers: Lancashire Constabulary

they think they are doing you a favour by calling at your home, but they are nout but annoying, i know how you feel, i get loads asking me if i wanna buy my home, it doesnt matter how many times ive told them i cant buy it its not for sale, but they tell me to have a try anyway,think they have to have a certain amount of people on their books or they get the sack

I'm fed of those as well. If it's not them then it's have you had an accident. " No"
Then they come back with.
" Are you sure."
Erm think I'd know if I'd had an accident or not.
