    I live in Waterville and within the past ten mins have had my doorbell rung repeatedly. Was in bed feeling unwell but got up as I worried it was something serious. Found 2 boys aged 13ish under a golf umbrella who proceeded to sing Jingle Bells at me. It's still November! Presume they're trying to make some shopping money but thought it very odd?

    I know this is meant as a joke, but annoying as these guys are we don't condone violence towards them, just in case anyone actually takes this as serious advice.

    These must be younger brothers/sister of ones that used to call about 5 years back.
    They called collecting for halloween and a couple of days later singing carols.
    They rang the bell and when I opened the door they were half way out the garden, gave me a very fast version of silent night, I just laughed at them.

    Throw them a Euro folks, they're at least making an effort, as opposed to stating 'There is f**k all to do around here'. ;)

    We used to Carol song in Edgewood lawn as they used to have a few quid and we had this wooden box with paper stuck to it, 'In aid for Fr ray, Corduff church'.

    In short, Farther Ray never seen a penny of it. :D

    God no... if I gave them a euro they'd tell everyone and then I'd have to give them all euro's... :\

    Most forget to come back Christmas week so I only have to give out one or two euro then!

    We never told who gave, that would be bad business. ;)

    Your lot obviously didn't have the same values as the boyo's up in Wellview then!

    We had better values, we knew after Carol singing, who then to knock to in Spring to clean windows, and then Summer to cut grass.

    Like milking a cow. Don't take too much and it'll keep on giving. ;)
