    Have heard a story that they get kids in sweat shops in Asia to do these pictures for sweet f a then sell them over here.

    The most annoying I find are the crowds who come along asking do you want your gutters cleaned? They come along with a ****ty ladder and a bucket and that's all. Sure I can do that myself!

    I find the only way to get rid of people selling crap or services at the door is to say "I'm only renting".

    What do you expect people to do when they clean the gutters? Spit polish the things?

    I mean you can do nearly any odd job yourself it all comes down to motivation really.

    "There is a tree growing in the gutter....I'll get it tomorrow."

    There are 2 further steps you can take - go to your post office and say 'I don't want any junk mail sent to my house please'. You can also stick something beside your letter box saying no junk mail - some local authorities can provide stickers.
