Caller to the door today
- Debbie (21st Jan 2016 - 18:47:32)
I'm at the Griggs Green end of liphook and had a knock on the door from a man saying he was selling clearance mattresses, my neighbours been round to say that she saw him and he didn't knock on anybody else's door and I'm a bit concerned because we're tucked out of view. Did anybody else have him call around?

Same guys were over at Paddock Way this morning. This is a typical method of selling used by travelers and perhaps a risky way to buy any goods. Just like getting your driveway done by someone who knocks on your door saying 'we were in the area and' ....

There's a post about selling mattresses on the "selling,buying& swoping in and around bordon,Farnham Liphook,Petersfield" Facebook page and they do look like travelers. And yes that's how swapping is spelt on the page!

He told me he was from "beddy byes/buys" and he had that on his fleece and sign written on the white van ( but I can't remember spelling). Said they had gone into liquidation. I was going to Google company but didn't find time. she was knocking every door on our road - not singling any out, that I could see.

How bizarre!!
Of all the products that might be sold door to door, mattresses seem among the most unlikely, to me!
I mean, why would you?
Knock knock. "Good morning madam, would you like to buy a mattress"?
"Ooh, yes please! Just what I need. I forgot to get one yesterday and this will save me from having to go out later and buy one"!
Unlikely!

Whatever you do don't purchase one....... My friends husband paid and ordered one, when they got it it was not what they ordered and it was a dirty old one!

I've had this today in Headley Down.
From ggogling it seems these are either cheap mattresses that do not meet fire standards or old mattresses that have been recovered. I can't decide which is worse.
