Canvass it of course. I've just been told 'i'm going to break your f**king legs' this morning for daring to leaflet in someone elses area. Told me it was unethical so he did.

I'd take every house for half the price, fill him in then follow him in his other routes and repeat process.

I love that as a threat.

Leafleting somebody else's patch - unethical

Breaking somebody's legs - perfectly ok.  ;D

Tell him next time that your wife works at the local tax office as an inspector and she said she's never heard of him  ;D  So he can't be working the whole estate or they would know about it I'm sure  ???

If you had woken up with a sore head and he then said this is my street then u may need to worry.

The ones who threaten u first very rarely do anything

but then again he only said this is my street so just look at him and laugh in his face

you can tell him to go fook himself if u feel like it
