"Carol Singers"
Anyone else being pestered by people attempting to sing carols?? Well the group that have come to out door a few times only get as far as "We wish you"
I have been using the excuse to close the door quickly as the baby is asleep.
Anyone got any better excuses??[?]

Most Jehovah Witnesses that I know are very nice people. They are also very happy to discuss religion with you.

I never give to doorstep carol singers, only those who are singing in the town centre for charity. I know who they are, I am usually one of them and they do a good and happy service. Most that come door to door just want money and no guarantee of where it goes.. Save your money and a theological debate and just give to those who are genuine...

Ask to see their permit. If they don't have one then they are officially begging. Unless, bizzarely, they are dressed as morris dancers in which case they are exempt from requiring a permit.
N.B. If anyone thinks I'm having a laugh, you obviously didn't see the BBC news the other day!
