I really dislike any cold callers and refuse to contribute to any charities by way of doorstep donations, or respond favourably to people who get me to the door, when they could put a leaflet through the letterbox.

No one knocks on my door.

I used to give to a few charities but stopped doing it. These days I give my money to Cats Protection and my time to Oxfam.

Bright, Believe me I'm not posh, never try to be, but I will put a stop to this, I do not think it's right for these people to go knocking on people's doors this time of the day, what about the little old ladies that are on their own? what I mean by that, they way things are out there nowadays the would be frightened to open the doors.
