We live on Woodwarde Rd and have just had a hawker at our door trying to sell household goods at exorbitant prices. He did not have ID, which he said he lost recently and it would cost him ?35 to replace. He claimed to have been a young offender with a child in care, selling goods as part of an organisation called Youth Opportunities (although I have not found any evidence of this organisation online). He said he needed to sell two items to get enough money for a week in a hostel. We bought some items - whether part of a formal programme or not, he probably needed the money - but it is far from an ideal situation. This is not the first time I have had someone like this at my door, but it is the first time they have come so late (9.30pm), without ID and no evidence of others doing the same Are there in fact any legitimate organisations running schemes like this?

I would like to add to the recommendations for Andy of Andyman Services. He came to our aid at very short notice on two occasions in the same week. The first time was to remove existing shelving (which he did very tidily) and the second time was to fill holes in the wall left by an electrician. For the second job, I spoke with him at 10.30pm and he arrived at 7am the following day. I will definitely be calling on him again.
