I asked one to hang on just a second, went upstairs & brought down an old mobile phone with no sim card & set about trying to sell it to him, explaining all the features, asking if he'd like a demonstration, not letting him get a word in (believe it or not)!!! He crumbled, made his excuses & left, obviously his training did'nt cover such things. Never found out what he wanted. ;D

When I registered with TPS it all stopped.  You can also apply to stop getting junk mail which worked too.

The canvasers stopped when I started opening the door wearing a wifebeater and carrying a can of stella which I swigged just before opening the door.  Tried to drag one in with a rather good imprssion of a drunkard saying " 'ave yer seen me ferret collection?"

Guess what?!  He ran off!  ;D ;D

I have a sign saying no sales people, god squad or hawkers, if they've still got the neck to call, I tell them to F*CK OFF and shut the door.
