In thinking after 7 pm on a dark friday is a stupid time to

Have a young offenders programme (I assume its legit) door to door sales team hit your street?

[goingtoofast]

There are more people at home in the evenings.

[WorraLiberty]

Sounds about right

There's no point in them knocking during the day when most people are at work/shopping

[PatriciaHolm]

And it's almost certainly not legit - we've had them a couple of times and I've googled them and the organisations either don't exist or are deeply dodgy.

[laptopdancer]

Oh thanks patriciaholm I wasnt sure

[laptopdancer]

By the way Ive had them come in the day before....just they were adults and this was a "young offender"

[WorraLiberty]

It still makes sense to knock when more people are likely to be home though surely?

[laptopdancer]

You might think so but its a poor decision as I, for example, am less likely to open the door to an unknown caller and certainly wont be handing money to a door to door seller at night. (and Im in my pjs )

[serotoninbutterfly]

Call the police, our local police are interested in 'Nottingham Knockers' that sell door to door as they are usually unlicensed pedlars. Non-emergency obv.

[bemybebe]

i do not want uninvited sales knocking on my door regardless of the time of the day... also regardless of their programme/agenda (religious, homeless, young offenders...)

[Esta3GG]

WTF is a young offenders sales team?! Shurely shum mishtake.

[laptopdancer]

Yes, young offender who is "trying to make something of himself"
By selling dodgy gear door to door for a commission?hmm
