    This is the one that is normally quoted here and elsewhere.

    To doorstep collector,

    Please be advised that I will only communicate with you in writing. I have noted your repeated attempts to contact me by telephone over the past few weeks/months and these have been duly logged by time and date.

    Furthermore, should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make such an appointment with you.

    There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v Sheppard & Short Ltd [1959] 2 QB 384. per Lord Evershed M.R.).

    Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and, if you do so, you will be liable to damages for a tort of     trespass and action will be taken, including but not limited to, police attendance.

    Yours faithfully,

    BR's ought not be subject to flippancy.

    it's a serious business, and should be treated with due solemnity.

    anyone know where we can get cheap telephone recorders?
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
