[Window Washers]

just gave my kids a load of leaflets and 20% off per clean to go trick or treating with, I live in a no cold calling zone so can cover two things at a time  .
is it wrong to teach kids to do door knocking for you at least they show willing:-\

I like it, mine are getting dressed up now to go out so they are getting a bundle of leaflets to take with them, and any kid that knocks the door could get a leaflet and a few sweets dropped into there bag 

now that is clever, I never thought of that, put a leaflet in the kids bags that knock at my door with some window washers sweet bags, pure genius that hand delivered to there mum and dads and I dont even have to go out

Even with a worning I would like to know what law I would be braking if I knock on the door. Folk should be a little understanding one is trying to offer them a service and earn a honest living.

Equally cold callers should understand that not everyone likes being disturbed, or likes doing buisness at the door, or wants or even needs the services being offered. I often think back to my mother (who wasn't old when she died) but after a very traumatic incident in her life she was virtually housebound with agrophobia. What happened to her had left her a chain-smoking nervous wreck and she couldn't bear it when people came knocking the door.

She had a sign on the door asking people not to come kncocking, but not everyone took notice. I think one poor guy selling electricity deffo got the message the day he called when my brother-in-law was visiting...my BIL is the size of a house and has little patience at the best of times. He gave the guy a little word or two, shall we say 

And did i feel it was unjust? No. There was a warning on the door.  :

Did i say i thought it was clever? Did i say i agreed? No. What i said was that the person had been warned. i am not sure if he was Thick skinned or just thick, but my mother could not stand people coming to the house. The house which she worked hard all her life to pay for. The house in which she kept herself to herself and spoke to no one. Is it so wrong to be asked for people to respect her need to be left alone? I don’t think so.

think it was clear what you said Vacman.

I understand what you said and why you said it. and it was me that said it is not clever.  :

[vacman]

Well, clever or not she didnt get that same guy back knocking her door.  It's times like this that i'd give anything for one more day with her

  Do you really think violence or the threat of violence is justified if someone knocks on a door trying to make a living?

If there is a note on the door, then it begs the question, really it does.

Lots of people 'try' to make a living. They don't all do it by ignoring signs that ask to be left alone  

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

hear hear mate have to knock doors is the hardest canvass around leaflets a waste of time been knocking doors for ages just got to be polite the snobby buggers can take a hike they dow deserve me services anyway one for the windowcleaners i think!!!

[gary999]

leaflets do work but it takes longer than knocking.

ive got a no canvassing sticker on the door and if anybody
knocks the door and is selling anything i simply close the door
without saying anything.

same as those idiots who phone after 8 at night trying to
sell go knows what crap i put the phone down on them.

[George P]

i know my parents dont like people coming to the door uninvited they are both around 70 and it does say no canvessors cold callers but they still get some, if you need work, use fliers etc, other people seem to manage to get enough work without bothering and sometimes even frightning people by calling after dark, you may be well intentioned but im sure alot of your parents wouldnt like it as they get older, if you must do it please do it in daylight

I get people knocking on my door all the time and its really annoying but I think well I've done it in the past so don't complain.

Where I live, Pinner, is a wealth area. An ordinary three bed semi like ours goes for nearly a half a million now so people think we are minted. If only they knew, but it brings them in from all over to come and knock on doors.
