A friend of mine who is blind told some religious people knocking at her door that she was not interested in anything which did not come with a brail leaflet.
4 wks later the Johova's Witness returned with a bible in brail (Nearly 20+ very large books) in addition they brought round a set of tapes with the bible in spoken words.
Now she cannot get rid of them.
I think ii will stick with NO, Go away!

Or words to that effect :)
My ex neighbour, a really tasty looker was married to a junkie. We got on fine. Too much loud music or noise at two in the morning or any other anti social crap from him was easily controled with the offer of a slap.
She devorced him, got involved with a JW and married him. She turned all goody, goody. No Christmas. no birthdays and no meat. Kids were not allowed to play or associate with "Normal" children and she got really depressed and used to confide in my wife.
The offer of a slap didn't seem too appropriate as he never did anything to upset me... Think I prefered the Junkie :!:

I have always thought it slightly ironic that you can register with the mps and prevent the sending of junk mail through the post but there is apparently no way that the Post Office can be persuaded that you do not wish to recieve the junk mail delivered door to door by their postmen.
Has anyone found a way of stopping them delivering this rubbish?
hobbit:
Try a different door knocker! :wink:
keithdixon:
I always found that a carfully trained dog stopped even the post men from knocking at the door.
The common expression of "Oh, no it's ok, i'll leave it" used to be said when i answered the door.
Other comments such as "does your dog bite" spring to mind (what are you going to say when some Pr**k wants to sell you double glazing)
"Yes he does"
On a slightly diferent note, if a supermarket were to advertise that they take out all the crud from newspapers before putting them on display would we not be more willing to go out of our way to purchase them there?
Or just do what i do and pick them up, give them a shake and leave all the crud behind
