Does anyone know where I can get a sign or label asking sellers, canvassers etc not to call at my door? I used to have a notice I made myself but it has mysteriously disappeared! Do trading standards or anyone else do one? I had a quick Google but found nothing

  • Try your local police station - they often go through phases of these sort of initiatives & if not, they can probably point you in the right direction. Failing that, if you PM me I can e-mail you the one I use.

    Don't bother phoning. I've just phoned ELEVEN times and not even the ones who spoke English understood what I was asking for (they were all obsessed with obtaining my Customer A/C number, name, address and postcode - and then said they knew nothing about it even after I explained it was an offer on their own website, reading them the wording and offering to read them the URL).
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I'm sorry to hear that Heinz.

    I just tried it and was put through to a young lady who took my account number and said it will be with me in about seven days.

    We will see.

    We got ours from Trading standards but they did a blitz on our area, it may be prudent to ask them if they have any ion your area.

    Midn you we still get people who are unable to read or dont give a flying monkeys about our sticky pasted on the front door glass pane for all to see.
