Not a door to door seller, but while I was at my local shopping centre I was flagged down by someone selling portraits for your children/family etc, I thought hm yeah I'll have a look, the second I reached her she enquired "Just the one child? When can I book you in?"

FOR WHAT?

Talk about a shite sales pitch (and a bit presumptuous!)

I just tell all door to door sellers that I need my husband's permission to spend anything over a pound. He tells them that he can't spend without my consent.

And I tell the Fish Seller we are vegan and the tarmac/double glazing people we are moving next week.

I don't mind them knocking but its the ones who don't take no for an answer that I can't bear. No I don't want to buy any dusters. No someone was here earlier this morning selling dusters. No I don't need tea towels either. Sorry but there were some guys selling dusters this morning and we don't need any. No we don't need sponges either. No we still don't need dusters.

We get several a day all week. Does anyone ever buy them? All the guys selling them look quite dodgy and I always wonder whether they are actually just casing the house...

Bolderes, I stand by my comment. Sales people invading my privacy will be given short shrift. It is not acceptable to bother people in their own homes under the guise of 'making a living'.

And I won't fuck off, if you're the one knocking on MY door Grin

A cake-van!

Could you imagine the stampede?

When I come in and piss on your kids, complain about privacy. You open the door to a very polite Debeez in a Sky jacket holding a clipboard, you either secretly long for Sky or my amazing company :o
