    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.

    In training we are told to ignore such signs, Especially the MSE ones as "they are all arm chair know it alls on that site" (Trainers words not mine)

    Crazy! I'm on a sofa.
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    Agree, When I was out on a training day I saw the owner of the Marketing company I work for bullied an 80 year old couple into signing up for a £93/month Sky package with HD, HD Multiroom etc was disgusting he said "Nice 100% comission for me!"

    Needless to say when sky did the random "verification call" a few days later it come back as cancelled. To which the owner wasn't happy

    Its sickening what they told you to do in training with mis-selling etc they slagged this forum off something awful.

    End of the day theres a nice way of putting it, not crying and threatening violence to a young woman trying to earn a living
