Morning Folks .

As i have just been on the Wee thread ,and sitting here early ish {11.00 hrs}Bank holiday Sunday ,an the rest of the u.k forums seem to be still asleep {and probably deserve a lie in , i have just heard my front door get knocked upon .

So let me start a new thread .

I live in a house with a front entrance and a back entrance ,being able to exit or approach in iether 2 different directions .

My car {van} is kept at the rear , out of site and access to the back of my property is restricted from view by the general public .

So the only way to attract my attention is from the front doo
{This i purposely never use,or even answer .

Even my Dog doesnt Bark anymore for some reason when someone knocks .

All my friends {whom im very selective about }have been given access to the rear of my property and have the security number to have access to my communications system to say there there .

Also my mobile fone number is only given out to selected people ,so obviosly when my fone rings i know who you are before i answer {all our mobiles do that dont they }


My landline number is given out even less .

MY POINT

Why do unwelcomed people i have no wish to communicate with knock on my front door time in year out still do it . !

Do they think im going to have a bloody memory loss about who gets access and who doesnt and open the door ..

Another insite of Jonnt"s world of control .

The TV licence is now a big con, you can watch most of BBc's programmes online anyway.

It is a con ,but apparently they conned us .

Once upon a time you didnt need a licence with a p.c. {telly licence that is }because you were watching pre recorded anything you wanted ,, but then the B.B.C. made live watch available ,hence you need a licence .

It was ok till they deliberately put on live t.v.

Abit like having a car outside your house and someone knocks on your door to say they want £10 for cleaning it ,

We never realy asked for live t.v. iether .

Hi J. the TV is rip off I hate paying that licence.
However, did you know that if you own a pc or laptop you are now required to have a tv licence even if you have no TV? its classed as a reciever! heheheh they are taking the Mick!!

The door knockers! Usually the Religious Ones come knocking and times I just ignore it. They have caught me out a few times though. Just opened the door and told them I believe in nothing. They soon are hitting the street.

Good luck with the unwelcome callers. hug

They knock at your front door because - surprise - most people use the front, and will answer the door .
They dont know that you mostly use the back (but they do now..)

If I'm not expecting anyone, I dont open the door - usually someone trying to sell me something that I didn't want five minutes earlier, and which they think I will suddenly want. I argued that God was an alien spaceman to a bunch of jehovas a couple of years ago, that was fun, they made their excuses and left thinking I was completey barking .... innocent
