No Canvassers!

Tinkerbelle · 22-02-2007, 13:47

I had a terrible night last night, long story, I was up all night with daughter in agony with an injury to her ankle. I've spent the morning in A&E with her and was just trying to get 40 winks on the sofa when yet another door knocker came to the door. To say I was not best placed is an understatement.

Does anyone know were you get those No Canvasser signs for the door? They do seem to work keeping cold callers away to a point.

From a sports shop they are called baseball bats. Have a wood one or a coloured metal ones. After a few home runs the message will get round that they aint welcome. Make out they were trying to rob you.

It was safestyle Mel, I swear he's lucky I didn't punch him in the gob .... and I'm not joking.

I swear cold calling should be illegal! If I want double glazing, or to change my energy supplier, or to change my religion I would approach the neccessary people.

It's just a bad sprain .... it must be sore though, she was up all night with it.

Youv'e already got one, it's called a Rottweiler

soem areas in te uk are designated no cold caller zones and i think it is actualy a criminal offence for cold callers to go into them

why they dont make teh whole country a no cold calling area i dont know infact any type of cold calling shoudl be illigal period

if i want somthing i will look on the net or in teh yellow pages or classifieds even

if they made it illigal it would save a lot of vulnerable people/stupid getting ripped off which is a good enough reason on its own to make it illigal
