JS1984 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Well done Sheffield City Council! Now every conman in the city knows that all he needs to gain entry to a vulnerable person's house is to knock out a fake ID badge when few people would know what a genuine one looks like anyway. Why can't they simply send a survey to be completed by either letter or email? correct me if im wrong but does it say anywere here thats its a male only survey??????

WallBuilder Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I thought there was some law about people coming to your door after dusk or am I remebering wrongly. Also if the survey is going to reflect the population properly then surely the age of the people filling in the survey is relevantnd also they'd need to talk to a number of disabled folk as well so it can't just be gender related.

Minimo Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Don't bother coming to my door, all you'll get is a flea in your ear. I don't tolerate cold callers of any kind, whether at the door,by phone, mail or email. They all get binned. (The binmen are beginning to complain, too many legs sticking out of the bin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I thought there was some law about people coming to your door after dusk or am I remebering wrongly. No law against it, but the Council would not be happy if the contracted surveyors are door-knocking this late. The OP has a number to ring if she wants to drop them in the proverbial.

rainbow sky Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I had them at my door last night at around 5.30ish. there was 3 all together that I saw one at my neighbour next door and I saw another across the road, the one who wanted to interview me could only talk to MALE people so his colleague did my survey as he could do FEMALE. I didn't think it was anything dodgy, they did show me some documents before interview started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggs Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The interviewer will also ask for your name and address details Presumably because the interviewer hasn't a clue what door they have just knocked on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Someone rang my intercom last night, asking to be let in. He couldn't say what flat number he wanted or give a name, so I politely told him I would not open the door for him and hung up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerd Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm pleased to see that it not just me that doesn't open the door to unexpected callers. I have had long discussions on this with family because if someone knocks at my door and I am not expecting anyone I just ignore it. My friends and family have my phone number and would push a note through if they were just passing. However other people seem to think it is rude to ignore the door. I guess I would rather be rude and safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
