    True...it's probably not enforceable legally...but if you saw a sign saying " No cold callers " would you even bother knocking and inviting the short answers you might well incur ??

    Yes, because I'd think "I bet not everyone in this area agreed to this, it was just a small group of loud busybodies, some of the others might actually be interested."

    The premise is ridiculous though, I'd never give my time or money to any charity, and the last on my list if I had to would be an animal charity.

    Now a fellow offering to tarmac my drive for £50, him I will listen to.
