LOL!

A friend of ours used to (try and) sell double glazing. IN his training he was told not to leave until he was basically thrown out.

Ok first off tell them you do not own the house and you would have to speak to your landlord, even if you own it tell them you don't and they will go away, this works with everyone but the people trying to "sell" you religion.

Or you could hang a sign on you door as follows......


We do not need new windows,
we are happy with our door,
we don't need carpets cleaning
we have a hard wood floor,
our finances are all sorted
we don't need to make a will,
we have not had any accidents
we are not feeling ill,
Our roof it is not leaking
our tiles they are not loose
our gutters are not broken
we don't need new loo's
I'm quite all right for dusters
I've given to the poor
We already found religion
SO PLEASE DON'T KNOCK THE DOOR.
