No he didn't want to do it, but needed a job...the fact it cost him money rather than earning any ...made it even worse. |

There are some unscrupulous people in this world Jax thankfully your husband is not one of those. |

A couple of years ago my OH needed a job and took one trying to sell very expensive Kitchens...unsociable hours and a lot of travelling using own vehicle. |

I find the notice on my door has no effect. Callers tell me it doesn't refer to them as they are not selling only giving advice - strange but my notice says I don't take advice either :-S |

I have found notes on the door seem to be invisable to callers. |

If you don't like cold callers at the door selling double glazing or new drive,why get wound up, ? ...just say the house is rented....works for me every time. |

I had a cold call last night. I wasn't sure initially as, like me, a (female)friend has 'number with held', so, like a lot of these firms do, I picked up the phone and said nothing. Eventually, a (male) voice said 'Hello', and I just put the phone down. |

Last Thursday I received two calls again - this time within an hour and a half. I absolutely lost it the second time. They informed me that I had cancelled an appointment and I am bellowing back - how could I when I never made one and that hell would freeze over before I did. |

How odd, I ordered a catalogue from them a few months ago, online, but apart from a few emails have not had that problem. |

I agree Ann. However I cannot stand lies and to say I had made an appointment when I had not. :-| |

Very naughty of him, although once you send for a brochure they seem to be able to phone, I don't think his technique is right. |

A couple of months ago I sent for brochure from a popular firm which appears to advertise everywhere. I only wanted it to get some ideas for my son. |
