It's Christmas week. Get away from my door hawkers and salesmen

Ally Dick

I'm sick to the back teeth of beggars coming to the door at this time of the year. If it's not charity collectors, it's Roma gypsy beggars or salesmen. I've disconnected the bell. Now get lost and leave me alone. And if there are any carol singers, they'll be getting a pot of p1ss over the head

Tomorrow night, you will be visited by three ghosts...

Thankfully no one bothering me in the countryside, may it continue.

I tried calling earlier to give you lots of free presents, money, coke and hookers, but no one answered...

He won't hear them he's disconnected the bell.

(Damn bloody right as well. I don't answer the door unless I know who's on the other end of the peep-hole.)

Amen to that.. In my over 3 years up here, only Healy Rae, a pair of JWs ( who never came back as I know the Bible better than they do which is not hard) and a brace of Publlc Health nurses on an unrequested visit THREE WEEKS after I came home from hospital... " are you eating? "

never , ever give money to door to door 'charity' salesmen . they're on 50% commission (minimum) plus another 30 - 40 % is going to the higher ups and then there's expenses.

Actually that has got folk in bad trouble as there have been court cases and findings against owners whose dogs have injured BURGLARS, For having dangerous dogs! The safest is " DOGS LIVE HERE!" or "DOGS RUNNING FREE.. I much prefer," Trespassers will be eaten" or " Come in and make my day" with a dog photo.. even cuter is a bell or touch panel that starts a loud recording of a dog barking.

My neighbours are weirdos. They never answer their door to anyone, blinds are always down, radio and television are switched off when they hear a knock, the house goes silent.
However recently they've taken up online shopping. I'm now friendly with the Fastway delivery driver who delivers all their stuff, as he leave their packages with me. I have to wait until I see my neighbour pull up in his car to give him their packages. This can add days onto their delivery times.

He just meant have the sign...you don't need the dog as well. A sign never bit a burglar yet.

I love ignoring the door bell and then seeing the person walk away with their clipboard. Note - clipboards are always bad news
