The Delights of Cold Callers - NOT

Horrible experience today - cold caller (a tree surgeon) decided to call around today and I ended up being verbally abused on my own driveway (and in front of my son too). He called and said he topped out conifers down a couple of years back and wanted to know if we wanted them cutting down again. He had never set foot on out property before - I told him very politely that he hadn't, to which he responded with a tirade of verbal abusive calling me a liar and all the names under the sun (in front of DS too). After he finished, he strangely assumed I would want him to cut back our trees and offered me a leaflet (brain addled or what).

I said I would take it but only to take the details and to tell everyone I knew NOT to use his company - so no, I didn't get the leaflet.

Still not sure whether to report this incident (to who not sure - he probably owns the company so no good would come of contacting them), as I would hate another person to be on the other end of this abuse. Apparently he did some work for one of the houses behind us, so may find out the name of the company.

Really shook me up - NEVER expected to be abused like this on my own driveway.

Anyway, the tree surgeon we used last time was a chap called Roger Molley and he did a fantastic job and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone out there.
