    Haven't you got an old portable TV anywhere??

    Let the toe rags fit the meter to that, then throw it back in the loft. Only get it out when they turn up to empty the meter.

    As soon as they have gone, wheel out the plasma.


    You REALLY need to learn to stop "Jumping at the chance". No-one is going to offer you something which benefits you EVER.

    Door to door salesman are knocking your door to rip you off, nothing else!!



    EDIT:
    Oops, I just noticed this jacka$s above me pulled up this thread from years ago!!!

    Having checked out their website, it also seems they charge way too much for the goods!! For example, I picked the first TV in their catalogue, a 42" Hitachi which was advertised @ £1400 + £300 insurance. However, by putting the same make and model into Froogle it came out @ £989! Thats a £700 mark up + interest!

    True, although why someone with "limited cash" would "need" a 42" telly is beyond me...
