We have a large Mormon âtemple and study centreâ in our village. They appear on the doorstep from time to time ⊠I just say No thanks and close the door. During lockdown they put letters through the door. I found that more annoying.Â

Up here we dont get cold callers - long rough driveway puts them off, too much danger to their precious vehicles. But once a year the JW's do call for a chat/catch up. This means that we gossip together for about 20 minutes about farming, the state of the countryside, the state of the country/world etc. Not a religious word is spoken and we part as (occasional) friends. However one of them does have his video recording thing running showing the general work of the JW's, although none of us are watching it. Do they have to report at the end of the day the number of people who have been willing to watch and listen I wonder?
why is it only christian god botherers who come knocking? I've never had Muslims, Sikhs , Hindus , Buddists, and Jews etc come knocking. Are they just generally more polite about wasting folks' time?
If the doorbell rings and Iâm not expecting anyone, I always put on a coat before I answer it.
That way, if itâs someone I like, I can take it off and say âOh, Iâve just got in, come inâ and if itâs someone I donât want to talk to I can say âOh Iâm sorry Iâm just on my way out to an appointmentâ.
I like that idea. I'll have to try it sometime.đ
I seem to remember my mother always putting her hat on to answer the door. Couldnât  think why at the time, but maybe that was a version of the coat trick?
@pansyface -She looks as if she could do with having fewer sandwiches - of any kind...
In fact - why don't these people just shut up and go away, instead of trotting out these offensive, and highly patronising statements. Shades of Marie Antoinette anyone?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
