    If I encountered a stranger on my doorstep with a tray of biscuits I would think they are decidedly creepy.

    If they are Ginger Nuts, Jammy Dodgers or Boorbons trying to give you the Chocolate Finger certainly, but they may be Nice so you wouldn't mind Hobnobbing with them? :)

    For maximum creepiness, they would be need to be home made with organic spelt flour and hand-rolled oats grown in your roof garden. :cool:

    Don’t bring a tray of biscuits. If I saw someone approaching with that, I’d assume you’re selling them and wouldn’t answer the door. It’s also just weird and I’d start worrying you are the type of neighbour who will want to drop in randomly for a chat whenever you feel like it, with cake so it’s awkward to refuse. Which means I’d try to put you off buying there.

    Just knock the door and ask.

    "Put a letter"? Oh, the power of a preposition... Or of all correct grammar, come to that.
