I was thinking more verbal than physical but hey ho.

Just shut the door. Enough said.

Callers to the front door get a 30 second audition. If it's the postman, courier or other delivery, I will entertain them.

Other than that, the door starts to close rather rapidly unless it's something very convincing

I tell them no thank you, but for those that persist; abuse seems to be the only language they understand.

Apart from the usual Gas/Electric man and Sky (nearly every month) we dont get many.... apart from one lad totally random, opened the door he showed me some letter saying that he was recently released from jail and he was selling goods door to door to help him get back on his feet.

Next thing, he opened a big holdall and had all manor of things in there from DVDs, Games to aftershaves etc .... I didnt want to judge but I dont think he would be 'free' for much longer

Oh and the best thing on my road is that there is one of those Utility Warehouse rip off merchants down the road. He usually comes round knocking the door saying he can save all this money etc in his advertised Mini.... anyway, by chance on Halloween the Mrs and daughter knocked on their door and noticed a sign... we dont answer cold callers

So he does it for a living, annoying people with his garbage yet wont answer to people of the same ilk.

I check through the window to see who it is then ignore them if I don't know them

Looking into wifi security camera options at the moment.

Best thing to do is dont even open the door. I seriously never bother, if bell goes take a look through the viewing-lens and if its a seller...dont open. Another good policy is that if you feel you want to find out who it is...speak *through the closed door*. Dont even open & chain it. Gas man? Pass ur ID thru the letter box.

Safety first dont be worried about looking like a fool.

... or like you're running a crack den.

The joys of having a German Shepherd - knock at the door and he will run from wherever in the house to the hallway and proceed to attack the door - if they have the balls to stick around Ill usually give them a few minutes of my time
