    Sorry, I dont read the Daily Mail. I choose not to let such media brainwash me in such a horrific way, but thanks for the tip off. ;)


    It is such a shame because the Daily mail prints balanced, unbiased views without a hint of sensationalism.

    I have just had a phone call from the thought police. They have given me a verbal warning as I have uttered the banned C word in a public forum !

    Going back to the OP, the salesmen must have been muslims, after all, with all the Christians sitting at home, they have to go and earn a living as no-one is going into their corner shops, and being a bank holiday, their Post Offices will be shut as well.


    I think it is really sad that the Muslim salespeople choose to disturb Christians on Christmas day. The OP should have sworn at them.

    Regardless, I STILL dont think it is even "accidentally" related to Cold Callers, unless your now telling me The Daily Mail has to be sold door to door, or even worse, that they are just spreading the word.

    You don't even need to buy it thanks to the The Daily Mail Headline Generator... EDIT: No, wait, even better.. 'COULD GYPSIES BURGLE THE MEMORY OF DIANA?'

    He pretty much goes from thread to thread trying to turn anything into a rant against how Britain is being corrupted by various groups.

    To get back on track, I can only imagine the salesmen in the OP were hoping people would be so inebriated they'd sign anything. I'm surprised Scottish Power weren't at it.

    All hail the Daily Mail. i love it's columnists like Richard Littlejohn and Melanie Phillips with their wit and eloquence. The Daily Mail should replace Christianity as our religion. The whole nation loves and worships the Daily Mail.
