I did get a call once from a conservatory salesman
Normally I'd give a terse "no thank you", but I decided to wind him up a bit. I listened, "oohing" and "ahhing" in all the right places as he sold me the guff on how beneficial a conservatory would be and the thousands it would add to the property.

"So can we make a housecall, then?"

"Well you could, but ultimately you'd be wasting your time as I don't think my property is right for a conservatory".

Thus ensued a longish conversation on how they could install a conservatory on any property and at least let them make a consultation. Oh alright then. Go on.

"What's the address?"

"It's flat 2, first floor..."
