Has anybody experienced aggressive behaviour from people selling dusters on the doorstep, apparently for a charity? Somebody came to our door last night at about 7 and started being really abusive when I said it wasn't a good idea to try and sell things after dark, so I wasn't going to buy anything for him. There are quite a few single old people living in this area, who should not be subjected to this kind of selling technique.
We get them knocking every couple of weeks. Always start with the same "I'm not here to rob you or mug you..." line, have been known to ring our bell as late as 10pm. They're a complete pain, and as the person above has pointed out, they're not actually linked to a charity. Very hard to get rid of at times, although I'm quite good at it now having had them here so often!
I usually ask the youngsters to give me a full break down of the "charity" they claim to be selling for of who and what the charity does and also how much it costs to purchase the items b4 selling them on at a silly price... They don't knock again for a very long time ;-)

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
