Guess who knocked on my door earlier?

[misdee]

blinkin carol singers. well cat-stranglers really. two teenage girls knocked on the door, and starting singing 'we wish you a merry christams'. i cut them off and said they were too early. they hadnt even bothered to go home from shopping as they still had their john lewis bags with them.

c'mon let me get the decaroations up 1st. jeeez.

You are kidding me????

THis early????

far too early ! What cheek

i woldnt mind if they could sing and it wasdnt just 'we wish you a merry christmas' grrrrr.

I remember going carol singing with a mate when I was younger, we made about £70 a night eachwe did it for 6 nights running.

We were cat-stranglers too

I cringe when I think about how I used to go out with my mates doing carol singing, we weren't young kids neither, we were about 15, and after counting our earnings we bought fags and booze

pmsl, but this early?

am so glad iwont here at xmas.

lol
evidently trying to reimburse some of their purchases in John Lewis through the power of song!

just had another 2 try whnei was putting the lights up. i said to come bac closer to xmas, on e of them said 'why you puting your decorations up then?' cheeky little s**.

You have to open the door, wait patiently for them to stop singing... take out your purse (watch their eyes!).. then ask.. "Which charity are you raising money for?".. at which point most will say they are not.. and some will um and ah.. so you then close your purse again, say "oh I only give to carol singers collecting for a registering charity and with the relevent paperwork to prove it!" and shut the door.

I door it every year. I am a bitch.

do it not 'door it'!

lol, will remember that.

I remember resorting to carol singing with mates when Christmas shopping as a teenager. We spent our last money on pressies hoping each other would sub us/get their mum to pick us up only to realise that none of us had enough change to get the bus home. In our lack of wisdom we thought it would be "cool" to get our bus money home by singing...Hmmm.
We ended up with enough to make a call to my mum to pick us up and very precious little else. Don?t blame them, we were a bunch of giggling amateurs!
I like the charity idea Jess - will remember that one for all those dodgy carol singers!
