    Those hawkers call here every so often but I just tell them I only give to local charities like the St Vincent de Paul and local hospice care team in the local hospital. I tell them to fook off to wherever the disaster they are collecting for is because I believe in charity beginning at home!

    They are usually very pushy and often get smart like telling you that in the time they have been talking to you x number if babies have died horribly in some god forsaken place, this is usually when the door closes slowly in their face as I smile at them.

    They are only doing a "JOB" and get paid quite well for getting their company access to your bank account
    That's like the Bono clapping his hands story, you should have said stop talking then :)

    Do the posters who've said they get charity callers living in towns/cities?? we nevr get any here thank god. just once a year someone from the local gaa club comes around selling tickets but thats about it. i thought the days of people calling to your door were gone?
    although saying that, we've had people trying to sell pillows (from brown thomas, apparently ;) ) and sets of knives and the like.
    but never charity callers

    Beware of these people. they are usually making lists of addresses where elderly poeple and other vulnerable people are living to call back to later to do roof repairs, tarmac the drive etc

    oh i know for a fact who they are! they also sell saucepans. sometimes they ask my friend if he wants his driveway power washed too.

    as regards the pillows, my ma was standing in the door, and the woman was beginning to get aggressive and shove past her, trying to push them in. so my mother lost her patience and had to tell the woman to..quote: "get the fcuk out of my house and take your fcuking pillows NOW".

    There is no way on earth I'd trust any charity with my bank account details.
    I generally open the door and say I'm sorry but if you're looking for a dd or standing order then I just don't do them under any circumstances.
    Goodbye... door closed firmly.

    I'd bet that Beemer was kitted with bullet proof armour and was purchased with illegally gained monies.

    Dodgy cnuts son, dodgy cnuts.
