A particularly aggressive duster seller has just called round. There was a very nasty verbal altercation between my husband and him. I have reported it on the police non-emergency number and they are circulating his description but just beware if you live in the area and perhaps think twice before opening the door!

Yes I have. I politely declined his services and was told " I hope you've got AIDS!"


Seriously, whatever organisation is responsible for these 'sellers' should be a bit more diligent with their employees. We really don't deserve this level of aggression on our doorstep.

I have to disagree with you Ann as I'd been thinking about this before this thread started...I believe the organisation behind these 'sellers' is extremely diligent, and achieves more consistency in its recruitment programme than Goldman Sachs - they're looking for nasty aggressive people. Either that or they take fairly normal people then train them to be intimidating.


I say that because they are so consistently vile - I've had run ins with them on about four occasions 'What are you looking at?' when I've glanced at them in the street, 'I'm not a burglar' out of nowhere from them on my doorstep, 'Are you a burglar?' from another one on the doorstep.


Any normal door to door seller would simply hurry on when refused. They are aggressive for the sake of it because they seek to intimidate. I'd love to know who's behind it.

    • Somehwere back in the distant past, ie some time in the last year, I came across a piece, probably on radio, BBC R4, that suggested, iirc,  that the main demand for such student housing was mainly from overseas students,  and was cooling.  
    • If you look at the Companies House records you'll see that that the owner of Lulu's London Ltd owns several other businesses with SE London names -  mainly in hairdressing/beauty, and iirc one licensed restaurant. PS The Forest Hill Road licence covers seven days/week, daytime and evening, and includes off-sales of alcohol as well.   https://app.southwark.gov.uk/premises/granted/887411
    • If you google Lulu London, it is a hairdresser on the kings road… could it still be a hairdresser which offers a glass of fizz? 
    • An update, and at the bottom of the article ways to get involved and have a voice. National 'conversation' responses close 14th Jan.  https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denials-fake-conversations-not-inspire-parental-confidence-send/ Closer to home, Councillor Ali has conducted a review of parent and child experiences of exclusions in Southwark and reports back to those who contributed at a dated TBC in January. If it is a date which I can attend then I'll share feedback. If not, is anyone else going who could let me know what is said?
