I've had three lots in less than a week, hammering on the door when I'm trying to write. (I can't not answer the door as I have several deliveries expected.) Different sects, with the usual daft games to get a foot in the door ("You don't know why I'm here so you don't know that you don't want to talk to me" wtf).


Is there a sign or something I can put up to put them off darkening my door? I'm getting really fed up with them.

Good one edcam, but my aim is to stop them getting as far as ringing the doorbell/hammering on the door.


I had thought maybe a sign saying 'residence of the Bishop of Southwark' (remember him? ) or perhaps 'Quaker Meeting House' (and I'm actually quite fond of the Quakers), but I, like Brendan, suspect that their general education would not have reached as far as any understanding of other faiths.


Perhaps some sort of porch installation that would cause them to turn tail in terror?

We used to regularly get Spanish speaking JW's on our doorstep. The JW's must have met my Spanish other half on some occasion she opened the door and decided to bombard her with people who speak in her tongue(s)! I never opened the door but just looked through the peephole and listened.


I don't know why they bother looking for new recruits as I always thought they believed there was only a limited space in heaven. If they've got the key then you'd think they want to keep quiet about it.

I had JWs knocking at my door for ages and I never answered. Then one day they caught me going in......all it took was to tell them Darwinian evolution happened and they've never bothered me since. True story.


I think sometimes they target you until you give them a reason not to.

They can be persistent Jah but nothing a cup of tea wont resolve

It's a different lot ever time

I sometimes give them a few moments with questions such as:

Why was there No Lifeboats on the Ark?

How much food was taken with them?

Who cleared up all the muck in the mornings.

Who bailed out the bilge water?

Did Noah wear Wellingtons?

Did he have a Telescope?

Was he a member of EDF?

We never normally get people knocking and wanting to *talk* but we always get the damn leaflets...if I'm in (rare) I chase them back down the street and let them know that the "No junk mail" sticker applies to Christian junk mail as well. Bloody litter bugs.


Have just realised I have too much time on my hands as well :D

I'm liking the idea of a witchy installation, complete with hat and broomstick. Perhaps holding a water pistol to be operated remotely B)

    • Just a quick post to say that my restaurant reviews column is now one year old. There are 45 reviews here* - mostly of local places (some sadly now defunct, others thriving). There are a couple of recipes from a period when I couldn't afford to eat out, a couple of moans about my health when I couldn't eat out on doctor's orders and a couple of reviews beyond our manor. But the main thing is that it is a free, useful guide to local dining and, I hope, an entertaining read. You can, of course, pay to subscribe or follow for free to get the reviews directly into your inbox as I don't want to spam EDF with every review (doctor says I'm not allowed spam anyway). The pictures below come from my two most popular reviews - Persepolis (new SE22 spin-off opening soon) and Norbert's, a great addition to East Dulwich. Please have a read and please consider subscribing. Did I mention you can subscribe for free?   https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/  *It would have been 46 but one review didn't run because the meal was so disappointing. I try not to be negative. To paraphrase Boyzone (or is it Westlife?) I said it best by saying nothing at all. 
    • I'd like to recommend Andy - came out very last minute to help us with a rental property that was having plumbing issues. We couldn't source the problem but Andy was able to find it / fix it easily & took the stress out of the problem. We have booked him again to put in a new bath for us now too as we were so happy with this work.    Lovely fella - thoroughly recommend using! Andy's number is 07983 688 451
    • If you're looking for a reasonably priced gym, there are a couple of PureGyms not too far away in Camberwell and Peckham. They're less than £20 a month with no joining fee. If you're looking to get fitter and / or lose weight, and you don't have any mobility issues, then download the coach to 5k app and start running. It's by far the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to improve your cardiovascular fitness and it's great for clearing your head!
