We had some toff round to the door the other daysaying that they were having a sponsored triathlon or similar and were raising money for children from abusive homes (I think)
now I don't mind people coming to the door for these things infrequently, as long as they take my first no for an answer.

Me: I'm sorry I don't have any cash at the moment (true, I'd been off work ill for a few days and had no need for it, or chance to get it)
Chugger: are you sure? not even any coppers?
Me: no *slams door*
