    What Christian behaviour, you won't be recommending that church to new neighbours! Complain to the church about the rudeness and threatening behaviour of their representative.

    So, when do we reckon I'll get my visit from the RSPCA? I'm guessing quarter to never.


    You won't get an RSPCA visit from that. She sounds like a fully paid-up member of the slightly insane god-squad. If it were me I'd have told her that my sign said 'no cold callers' and if she stepped foot on my property after that she'd get a bucket of cold water over her.

    You'd only get a visit from the RSPCA if she lied about what she'd seen, ie; she said the dogs were tied up for hours in the rain or in their own filth with no shelter/food/water.

    And it would then quickly become apparently that her accusations had no basis in reality :p

    This made me chuckle...! It doesn't matter how many signs you put up or how clear they are about wanting no 'cold callers' for whatever reason, god-botherers think it doesn't apply to them and will knock anyway.

    I had a visit from the UNICEF, 2 young people who started with "we are from the UNICEF, it's a children's charity " I replied that i know what charity it was and why were they knocking on my door when there are 2 large notices saying not to. One from the Cheshire police and one from the council. Their reply was "O it doesn't mean us because we are not selling anything " When i told them politely to get lost it was so you don't care about children then ?
    At no time did they offer any kind of identification at all.
    These charities and others should educate thei helpers about intruding when these notices are there.:eek:

    Isn't that blackmail/ extortion/ coersion or some other illegal means of extracting money? I'd have complained to the charity, miserable cow that I am. :rotfl:
