Great if only it would work. I have rather a large sticker on my door which I got from Trading standards but they ignore that as Npower did the other day. I also have a sticker on letter box "no catalogues" works slightly better although I think betaware cant read0

It seems that this involves a free phone call, a confused CS operative in the BT publications department, another free phone call, pressing button 4, then pressing button 5, then a recorded message about high call volumes, then another long wait, and so far lots of apologies for delay...jgjet wrote:This involves a free phone call
Thanks to the OP. (I'm not thanking BT yet because so far I haven't got to speak to anyone I feel like thanking. What are they like? :rolleyes:)A penny saved is a penny gained0 -
No probs. Got straight through and operator said 'Will send it out straight away'.
Thanks for the link.

just phoned and was told it has been withdrawn.
Very confused customer service staff on a bad line with an indian accent did't help at all, she didn't seem to know what i was going on about.Trying to save money to move to France.....eventually!
£2 savers club = £24 saved so far :T0 -
Try phoning 0800 800 150, and selecting option 4, then option 5, then waiting forever. I eventually got through and it was ordered for me.Money_Bunny wrote:just phoned and was told it has been withdrawn.

You're all sat there on computers, so why don't you knock up something to print out and put on your doors?
Sorry, but hanging around on a phone line seems a bit of a waste to me.
No offence intended to OP 0 -
Good idea, but anything made out of paper will get soggy and tattered quite quickly, (and not everyone has glass in their front door, or thin enough glass to easily see through, or glass at the right place for a sign to be easily noticed by a bored and tired door-to-door salesperson).Poppy_P wrote:You're all sat there on computers, so why don't you knock up something to print out and put on your doors?

Excellent if you have a laminator, but plastic bags and selotape for waterproofing quickly get knackered outdoors, especially in the Winter.
People also may feel happier having something 'official' looking on their door, so that unwanted callers are deterred more easily.
Just my two penn'orth. Obviously if you live in flats or have a very sheltered front door, printing out your own sign might be just the thing. A penny saved is a penny gained0 -
I've got a homemade one saying "No salesmen, no jovos" on the door. Still got 'em knocking and trying to flog me the watchtower on New Years day. Just got a dog to chase 'em off.Just because you used to be you think everybody else is, don't you?0

"Don't ring"... what if you haven't got a doorbell?
They'll just knock and say "well I wasn't ringing" :rotfl:0 -
I have a sign that I made up and laminated that simply says:
"NO COLD CALLERS, THANK YOU"
You'd be surprised how many people knock having no clue what it means. I am going to have to rewrite it in words of one syllable so it can be understood.
It also means I have stopped receiving my free newspapers now which I do actually want so maybe I can draw up a Top 10 and put that up instead:
1. No salesmen, women or third gender
2. Please give me free newspapers
3. If you claim not to be selling anything, why are you bothering me?
4. No, Darren does not live here, try the renting students next door
5. No I do not know the way to anywhere, do I look like tourist information?
6. No you can't use the phone, I have to pay for my calls you know
7. If you leave a catalogue, I will watch it crackle on my open fire
8. If you knock the door with a catalogue I will watch you crackle on my open fire
9. I don't have a dog but come in uninvited and I will bite you
10. I'm a nice person really and if you are welcome you will find that out
