I'm always being offered three piece suites and odd things by strange men in large vans with Irish accents. (the men that is, not the vans).

I just tell them "No thank you"

One day at Busman's house we noticed one of the people in the street had bought a settee and easy chair and whilst the men were getting it out of the van they put others in the roadway. My initial thought was that it was dangerous in case a car came round the corner but what I hadn't anticipated was the neighbouring cat climbing up onto it and doing a lengthy piddle. Phwah! That one must have stunk the van out when they put it back in! I pity whoever ended up buying it.

Of course it's easy to say don't trust anybody hawking stuff cheap from door to door but this is awful where they befriended the poor man and won his confidence before conning him.
