Salesman came to show me double glazing: one hour appointment. Spent 2 and a half hours playing silly sales games like try to work out the social category of my postcode. then how many people did I know, what was my background, and come up with - you've guessedit, my profile plus the local profile meant I could have a great discount! He then rubbished local companies and other major companies and after 3 hours gave me a special sign-up now quote of three times the going rate (I had already quizzed my neighbours on what price they had paid and which company). He woudln't listen, didn't show me any respect, and just managed to leave before I phoned for the cavalry to remove him. I only lost my time, but my time is valuable and irreplaceable. A useful wakeup call that the old sayings about doubel-glazing salesmen are as true as ever.
and to add insult to injury, I now find that htey have been repeatedly had up for cold -calling registered phone numbers like mine, and even questions asked ian the House of Commons under the subjects Weatherseal: Complaints and Standards
