I just had a Slingshot sales person door knocking in the middle of the omicron outbreak ! What on earth do Slingshot think they are doing?

They also said that they could only provide details on the offer after I signed up - but that's another issue....,

They are likely to fall foul of the fair trading act...

Yea we had a charity door knocker come a calling last week. Despite the wife saying she was cooking dinner and not interested three times, he just kept up with his spiel. In the end she just slammed the door in his face.

One suggestion is to put a sign on your door stating the occupants are covid positive. That's likely to stop them from knocking although some can be very persistent lol.
