Homeowners Call Police On Window Salesman
AFTER a cold all approach, a window trader was demanding a deposit for the £31,000 he quoted to replace a couple’s windows.
The couple, who have two young children, repeatedly asked him to leave before calling the police and handing him the phone so that a police officer could tell him to go.
And did the coppers buy any windows?

New word of the day - PARSTITIC.
Make a note of it, and try to work it into conversation.

I had a run in with one of these parstitic twats once.
When I was young(er) and (more) foolish, I invited a bloke from ‘Safestyle’ round to quote me on windows and doors.
I eventually managed to turf him out after 2 hours by picking up his case of samples and chucking it into my front garden, and telling him to fuck off.
During this time the quote had dropped from £26,000, via a half-price offer of £13,000, to £4000, and the clueless git couldn’t understand why I didn’t want to deal with him or his company.
I then had to piut up with 2 days of phone calls from his boss, demanding to know why I was unhappy with such a fantastic bargain.
Eventually, I got a local company to do the job for £3000.

No, they arrested him on multiple charges of fraud.
The police station has been windowless for 3 years following his last cold call…
