Vat receipt I hope
used to tolerate them until one of them got smart with me when I was having a bad day
now run without ever asking their business
you are only attracting vermin round the place dealing with them
they contribute nothing to society
there would be a picture of p nally over the secarate heart light here if the wife let me

Your man is mad in the head to be giving them the light of day.
If you throw out bread - you'll have rats.

They'll be of the opinion he's a handy touch, and when he isn't they'll help themselves.

Its about the only time I get away with calling myself the boss ha, my dad doesn't want to deal with them at all, so when they ask for the boss I say I'm the boss now, and give them a very blunt blank "no I'm utterly not interested in anything at all you have to offer", I just turn around and walk off usually, but I'll stand outside the door looking at them, to make sure they actually leave! Some dodgy ones around us though, definitely not worth doing any business in the slightest with them, it will only draw them, or their friends back into the yard again.

+1 to all of that - the brethern will soon know what is in your place.

If you "run" them enough times, they soon won't come back.

They love you taking a photo of their vehicle or writing down the reg plate

Have it, but unless you are making a lot of calls abroad, it won't save you a lot. With o2 prepay these days you can get all calls to landlines and other networks for €10 per month. Text bundles for €5 for 250 and as much internet as you'll use for €10 per month. I know of people getting bills of €70 or €80 per month for much less!
