Had some similar people call on me here in Norwich recently. Two young men who said they were recently discharged from the Army and were taking part in a 'return to work' scheme. Unfortunately they were unable to tell me which regiment they were in.

I pointed out my 'No Cold Callers' sign and was treated to a torrent of swearing and abuse.

I've learned that a lot of these door knockers are signed up by people who tell them to ignore any 'No Cold Calling' sign and to say they didn't see it. As my sign is brightly coloured and right next to the doorbell I usually suggest that perhaps they need to visit Specsavers.
