So long as your address isnt on the leaflet dont worry !

Also dont post any leaflets on my patch

:)

Ive had loads of threats from leaflet dropping theyre obviously worried as they do a pants job just keep going and report any sinister threats to police and certainly any verbal/physical abuse

Or just give em a hiding

Richard don't worry about it,

I got sick of the nice approach with these guys when I first started out, and quite quickly started telling them exactly where I was and if they had a problem come and see me face to face instead of hiding behind withheld numbers................. surprise surprise I've never had anyone turn up!

If he didn't hide it take it down to police and report it

I would definitely not let it put you off.

You are as free as he is to look for customers as you see fit. If he does a good job, his customers will stick with him and he will have nothing to worry about. He's probably just mouthing off 'cos he does a lousy job, and this is about to be exposed by you doing a good job!    

Stick with it, guys like him are full of wind and wee wee!
