Cold calling
There was the time when the phone rang and it was someone trying to sell you something, in the good old days it was double glazing, and if you was bored you could have a chat with someone, but how things have changed.
Now you get the people knocking on your door trying to get money from you for every sort of charity, this week alone i have had two door callers , one for Cancer and the other for Heart foundation.
Gone are the days when you could put you hand in your pocket and give a few bob in the container now they are wanting a you to set up a direct debit with them and it could be as little as what you could spend on a cup of coffee per day, well i spend 10p for a coffee so some how i dont think they would want that.
Yes i do give to charity but its my choice when and how i want to do this, some folk may like these people knocking on there doors and it cold be up to 9pm at night too, i dont and thats one of the reasons i just dont give.

Sod that ... ... it ISN'T as though I'm an old skinflint, ... but there's a limit to what I - as a pensioner - can afford!

I don't do charities. I don't do beggars, I don't do cold calling or rattled boxes or charity raffle books. The most obscene one for me is church collections that my children 'have' to do as part of their school.
I do squeek when when I walk too if you were wondering.If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

As a rule I don't give to any charities, but lately most of my possessions seem to have been bought from charity shops, and I do give a fiver a month to the Air Ambulance... something I hope I will never need, but who knows ?
Certainly it may have saved my fiancee's life, had it been around in 1989.
Cold callers just provide me (and them) with a few laughs.
