Thats worse because then they visit
What's the legality of charging an hourly rate?
If I stick a sign up at the end of the lane saying "reps welcome - hourly rate of £100/hour minimum charge of £50"

to be fair, reps earn their money, by selling 'stuff', which means cold calling on farmers, they have to.Thats worse because then they visit

But they should quickly, if you want them, or not. Worst one we ever had, was a tithe barn min rep, even dad couldn't shift him, and he never got a order.

Just tell them where to go. They must like you as thankfully we don’t have many reps call in now.

I'll give them your address!
More reason to block the number. It's unlikely they'll rock up on farm one day because they would have already done that. And if they do then say you're not interested and that's the end of it.
Block them and get on with your day

The Tithe barn min sups is the only rep that cold calls here. He's quite a nice guy but he's only ever had one order from me.

Change your SIM card, send the new number only to people you need, job sorted.

no, a sledge hammer.
as a very young lad, l was put in a doorway, to stop cattle going through, all went well, until a bull, exited his pen, unexpectedly, right opposite me, 15ft away, the cowman picked up a wooden stake, and threw it at the bull, to take its 'eyes' off me. No idea where it hit the bull, on the head, but it poleaxed him, went down like a bag of #####. Obviously created some agitated discussion, bull stood up, shook his head, turned around, and walked straight back, into his pen, quite a relief.
