Should I be suspicious?

I live in a bungalow so roof insulation is very important. A cold caller called yesterday to ask if I had roof insulation. I replied yes the original from the builder the next layer My wife and I paid for then the government insisted ( yes insisted ) on putting another one in. Did this stop him, did it heck. Armed with this information he then went on to tell me that to much insulation will cause the timber in the loft to rot. I then told him we were going on holiday to Tenerife for at least a month and he rang off.

I was called a 'bitch' by a cold caller when I meekly said I was registered with the telephone preference service! I was realy quite shocked.

I wish he would ring here. I'm fed up being trapped in the house. Could do with some fun.

Snap, Legs55. I live in a Park Home too. Not many of us on GN apparently.
I quite like the idea of being called a Gypsy! I was once called an Itinerant. I'm in the middle of trying to get a grant to have gas central heating installed. I had exterior cladding added, thanks to the local Council.

There are a few genuine schemes around. I had free insulation a few years ago and then 18 months ago a new boiler which was completely free as I was on particular benefits and over a certain age. I don't think there are any window replacement schemes though, more's the pity. I replaced a set of patio doors recently as they were old, difficult to open and shut and very draughty. Since then I've had numerous calls from the company trying to sell me more products. I've come to the conclusion that if they are so desperate to sell to me despite me telling them I can't afford any more work, they must be in danger of the company failing so I won't touch them with a barge pole again. The product I have is fine but there were all sorts of issues with fitting it, so much so that if I hadn't paid a deposit I'd have cancelled, so I'd probably have avoided the company in future anyway. As others have said, if I want work done I will contact companies to compare quotes.
