    No not really the Big Man, maybe your clutch for straws is getting so desperate you will pluck out just about any random point, whether relevant or not to the thread.

    If they have found my personality in a gutter (cannot imagine how this is physically possible but......), I have NOT invited them to return it, nor have I asked them to, want them to, are happy for them to. If I have thrown it in the gutter, I obviously did not need it to impress my household.

    I usually know if someone is selling something when they try to sell something, (the clue to a cold caller is the junk they are offering), normally cold callers have learned this step by now, maybe you need further education to understand the concept of what a "Cold Caller" actually does.

    You are a sad man who happily punches women. Why listen to any more nonsense that you spout?
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    I would not say "Happily", (How you can be both "sad" and "happy" is anyones guess, but still your desperation at straw plucking, inevitably would turn to such playground banter).

    I am not sure I can shout LOUD enough for you to be able to "listen" though, I did not realise that the forum had an audio setting as well ;).

    But feel free to click that ignore button if you don't like my response. If you can easily ignore a sign telling you NOT to call at my door, it should not be too difficult to master IGNORING me. (Unless you choose to knock on my door of course, where Equality will HARSHLY become a reality check! NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE! ;))

    I would rather people tried to make a living as a door to door salesperson than sit on their a r s e and claim benefits.

    I would rather people got jobs as door to door salespersons than sat on their fat a r s e s claiming benefits. The foaming in the mouth daily mail brigade is never happy with anything.

    North Side eeeee near me :D I'm up in Prestwich :D

    I hated the job anyway ;) but they had names for people who told them to get lost, wasn't very nice sadly
    Not that far really, I am nearer Abbey Hey, although have thought about Prestwich as a nice area, Ideal for the Tram link too.

    You would be shocked (NOT) at the names such people would have for them after they "got lost". :D:D

    It wont be long before its part of a New Deal for them ;), lets just hope they are reminded to heed notices on peoples doors regarding Cold Callers.

    Not at my door :D But thats the Risk any Cold caller would take when choosing to knock on my door ;), Pitfalls of the job I guess, its one of the reasons I would not degrade myself to begging at peoples doors.

    Far better they come on boxing day and nick all the presents then.

    Yes bless there cotton socks! Had they DARED trench my door xmas day, (particularly with my polite "NO COLD CALLING" sign plastered on my door, I would not waste my breath with swear words, I would however, politely ask them to gather up their teeth from my doorstep, after knocking them all out for them. ;) But swear??? Naaah not me, actions speak MUCH louder than words.

    I agree with you there too.
    Let you get back inside, couple of bricks through the old plate glass window, you try getting a glazier out before Wednesday.
    Then, just for fun, back on Thursday and maybe Friday too!
    Actions are MUCH louder than words.

    I wondered if thats why they would choose a Christmas Day to ignore notices not to knock on. ;)

    Saying this if they can nick the pressies off the kids on a boxing day, they have earned the right to keep em ;)

    I don't think anyone sells door to door because they want to. As for christmas day, it's got to be because they'll die if they don't. Can't think of any other reason to be out, unless it's down the pub before lunch.
