Chuggers

[yorkshiregoth]

I managed to narrowly avoid 7 chuggers from Red Cross yesterday in Hounslow Shopping Centre, and have now just had one knocking on my front door. Never seen them cold calling people before, is this a new tactic of theirs?

I fell off my chair when i read your thread title.

what is a chugger in heathrow? Up here chugging in public will get you thrown in jail.

A chugger is a charity mugger. Those people who hound you to give them your bank details in the street.

You can't walk about the city centre of Glasgow for more than 2 mins without them hounding you. Same ones all the time, different bibs, WWF, Shelter, Red Cross, Help the Aged, UNICEF, Some othe animal charity, Etc etc.... It drives you mad. Every bloody day.

It's that stupid star jump they do right in front of you shouting HI!!!!!!! that drives me nuts

They never seem to bother me. Maybe i just look too glaikit, or they can detect the feck off rays I'm emitting.

I'd go with glaikit

You're probably right. I should change my username to glaikit galoot.

The best way to get rid of door-to-door chuggers/salesmen is to get one of these (photo taken just now of my own front door!):

Works a treat!

I haven't had one single irritating salesman/chugger/jehovah's witness knock my door since I put it up. I think it's part that says "Don't knock, don't ring, go away" that really puts them off!
