I just say"that sounds really interesting I must get a pen" and then leave the phone off the hook next our very loud ticking clock,it is espexciaslly effective if it happens to be when it chimes.Strangely no-one is there when I pick it up 15 mins later.
OK what will stop those plastic bags asking for clothes being pushed through the letter box, today I have had three. How many old clothes do they think I have, some of mine are only fifteen years old, hardly run in yet???
Have you noticed on these bags how very little per tonne they actually give to the charity? it fetches about £400 a tonne yet some are only giving £70.
Frank,I use the unwanted bags to cover my coats etc or for rubbish.Agree there are far too many,Your "old clothes " can hardly be called old at only 15 years,they are merely "middle aged"
Gilly, "Middle aged"??? I cast Nasturtiums at that statement, middle aged indeed they are nearly new?? The thing is Gilly I have two wardrobes full of them, everything gets dropped in the wash basket at night and all fresh clothes after my morning shower, I think it is the old soldiers aversion to being wounded with dirty clothes on your back. You once saw bags at nearly every door on our road now it is the odd one so they are losing out with overkill. The other thing is the people calling wanting you to sign up so much a month for a charity, I already do six charities three local the forces charities and Salvation Army, they would be there with a cup of tea and a bun where the Naafi refused to go. I say sorry enough is enough goodbye.

Is this the correct response to telephone salespersons?
Haha GG that's made my day
Brilliant GG.
That did make me laugh GG!! Do you think we could invent a way to send it to them all??
I can't repeat on here what I intend saying to the next one that calls me....
It's the ones that phone at night when you've just sat down to your dinner...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Rarely get them but someone had the sheer audacity to call at 9.40 yesterday morning.
Really!! Fancy calling halfway through the night.
