knock at the door (spencers)

[arriety]

Hi I've just had someone knock at my door saying they are from a company called spencers and want to talk to me about fish and meat. He was young and seemed nervous and said he wasn't selling anything was just a student trying to gain confidence talking about good food for Spencers. Has anyone else had this? and does anyone know what its all about?

ive just googled it and didnt see anything and spencers has never been mentioned on here.

how did you feel about it? if you felt it was suspicious call the local police. not to worry you but potential burglers have been known to knock on the door to see if anyone was home. it probably wasnt that but if you're worried about it....

I've had someone knock on my door last weekend saying they were from a company from Spencers. They apparently sell pre-made food or something to that extent. His van with the company name was parked on my street for a while as he made his way door to door. Sadly, I had to be really curt with him as I had screaming children in the background wanting their tea. Seemed legit, just an annoying time to call on someone.

We had the same thing last Sunday, said they were from Spencers and selling food, I didn't open the door just told him no thanks and he left.

ahh yes he came to us at lunchtime just as I was serving up the food. Told him we got Ocado . They could have considered their times better.

I hate door to door

I had him too last weekend. I said I was busy and couldn't talk and asked him to leave his leaflet, he said he didn't have one - which is very suspicious.

I told the c*nt what I thought of him and c*nted him off good and proper.

I made it clear were he ever to blemish my doorstep again I'd get BigBadWolf to punch his face for him and see how he liked it.

He left my stoop paler than when he arrived, I'll tell thee that f' nowt.

Is this them ?

Yes - we had the same chap at our door this afternoon - he was very friendly and the food boxes looked good quality. We bought some salmon fillets as a 'tester' and will see how we get on before ordering more if they are good.

Good to give small businesses a chance who try and do something a bit different methinks..

He came on Saturday, just after I'd got back from Sainsbury's. Though I'd told him I didn't have the space for trays of frozen food in my freezer, he brought them in to show me. I was quite impressed and thought that if I did have the freezer space I would be interested. He was very friendly but did look a bit dejected when I said I didn't want anything, after nearly 25mins. I'd definitely consider it for parties and the like, though.

I agree, although it's sometimes inconveniant to have hawkers knocking on your door, I cant fault a man who is [prepared to do this work to earn an honest living. Especially if they have to put up with this rubbish.

LAst week we had a young man asking if we'd like our very short front walkway concreted? He made no eye contact and wasn't very interested in selling his wares. Did wonder if he was a potential burglar?

[iaineasy]

maybe a burglar but a Definate pikey I would say.
