is it illegal to not answer your door?

Is this a spooky thread.... The Mormons just rapped (and rapped and rapped) the door 5 mins ago and I never answered.

on a similar issue, i read about an area of bristol been evacuated cos of some bomb scare thing.

is it the law you have to be evacuated? chances of getting blown up must close to a million to 1.
what if youre right in the middle of columbo? can you just say im not going anywhere, i'll tek me chances flower.

rapping mormons? whatever next? dancing jews? juggling muslims?

fire-eating jehovas witnesses?

Had to avoid some sales droid yesterday....tap tap tap....she made the big mistake of knocking on the door opposite within 3secs....thus giving away her purpose

Few years ago had a  double glazing saleswoman tap the door  ,asked her in ,was just settling down to a bottle of wine ,offered her a glass  and one thing led to another .Her boss kept calling asking if she had any sales yet she just said she was working on it , give her my details for a follow up lead ,the cant kept knocked on my door every day for a month .Turned out it was a wee family business and the guy was her husband ,big fat fcker .She was trim and fit .Every time the door went a was bricking it .
Dont usually open the door through the day  to cold callers ,once after a had just  lost a few quid and had a bit of the old red mist ,door goes and this power salesman is pretending to be an engineer ,says he has found a problem with the supply and he can fix it ,tries to con me into signing a dodgy deal , knocked seven piles of shoite out of him ,right  arrogant annoying bastid pretending to be a spark and did not know how to work his  multi meter,he left it behind , a nice one it is .

Get much use from it?

aye comes in handy .The cant  tried to tell me a fault in the supply was costing me money ,then when i asked him what sort of fault that could be and show me on his meter he said he had already tested the supply in the street ,a kept at him and asked him to test the voltage but he could not do it ,then  admitted under pressure he was infact a salesman ,just thought about all the poor pensioners and the like he had conned and the red mist fell  .Was years ago but recently heard the company was heavily fined for mis selling .

Another question is would it be legal to tell someone at your door to f'off?

^ comedy gold

he was good on the tv am, that mr multi meter.

i'll get me coat.

Indian guy late seventies early eighties, used to come round selling clothes on tic and collecting weekly payments. After a few months he made a great quote "SOME VERY BAD ELECTRICIANS ROUND HERE, EVERY TIME I RING THE FRONT DOOR BELL THE LIVING ROOM LIGHT GOES OFF" Sounds better in an Indian accent.lol!

one day a was waiting on the PP was going to pay decent money had two legs running and had two selections in the last ,15 mins before the last leg door goes ,Indian chap with a suite case selling "lucky ties" has a nice natty silver number in his hand when i open door ,"get your lucky tie SIR "  ...bought two for a tenner

got  4 lines and a decent lift

used to wear that tie quite a lot  ,not superstitious at all but some things are spooky

I'll send the Gypsey round with the Heather.

Then..

I never answer mine , but nobody ever knocks only buzz the buzzer (beauty of a flat) only ever answer if i'm waiting for a parcel off the postman , but nowadays i don't even answer to him , just pop & collect it myself when i'm free

Another question is would it be legal to tell someone at your door to f'off?

I have done , 2 idiot hospice collectors , heard them on the buzzer laughing & giggling , he banged my door & I shouted sorry mate i'm busy , i was painting , he banged again and shouted HELLOOOOO , so i shouted back *£$%^&*(*&^%%^&*(*&^%$%^&*!!!!!

they almost ran back down the stairs

Sorry wrong thread

I am  not superstitious at all ,that old Indian must have been 80 odd ,never seen him before or after and never heard anyone  else that had him at the door so was just odd . He was not  selling ties he was  selling "lUCKY ties .

just an unlikely  coincidence ,of course

They always say lucky....doubles the sales....so I hear

well nobody is gonna buy an unlucky tie, now are they?
