Gearing up for a rant here.
Being fed up of the increasing number of door-to-door salespeople and junkmail, we recently got two nice little signs in B&Q. They are both about 6'' x 2.5''.
One reads "no door to door salespeople" and we stuck this right next to the doorbell.
The other reads "no junk mail" and we stuck that onto the flap of the letterbox.
Now one might be forgiven for thinking that this would reduce the number of unwanted callers but no...no way.
Latest in a long line of incidents :-
" Oh I didn't see the sign until I had rung the bell, but since you're here now....."( sales pitch for SKY TV )
" hey, I saw the sign, but hey, we're not selling you anything...we're here to SAVE you money by switching you to Vodafone". (Now give that fella 11 out of 10 for initiative)
The junk mail one to be fair, has worked. We now no longer get the junk THROUGH the letterbox, they just leave it on the ground in the porch in front of the letterbox.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
