    The following video clip shows how best to deal with them if they persist even after being asked to go away (nws)

    The Red Cross have started to annoy people in their own homes now, not just in the high street!!

    Have to admit, not encountered the Red Cross in High Street (many others I have) but have twice had Red Cross at home in the last 2 months. Once when I was in my front garden so they saw me before I saw them so I couldn't hide. The guy was very persistant.
    Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free :)
    Mortgage free since 2014 :)
  • I just apologise and say I don't have a bank account but I'd love to chat to someone about my IBS
    They normally clear off pretty quick

    The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

    I hate Aberdeen city centre for many reasons and have added to my ever-growing list of extreme dislikes the blight that is chuggers. :mad:

    I find talking to myself convinces them to steer clear ;)

    Yeah they only get paid commission, so no wonder they're desperate to sign people up :(

    Only last week in Harrow a chugger approached a rather beefy looking bloke who turned round to him and said " f$%k off" That worked immediately LOL

  • I dont think they are allowed to follow you and to be honest if they did I tell them to P off. I try and avoid anyone with a clip board or anyone who is trying to sell me anything
