If all that fails, f*** off usually works.

Myself prefer this one.
Picture the scene as I am at my sister in laws house with the whole front of the house visibly fitted with upvc windows and door including barge boards and guttering when a knock at the door arrives from a stay brite windows rep.
Her husband answers the door to the usual patter "good evening sir i am from stay brite windows can i interest you in our products blah blah"
Now after he politely shows the guy the whole front of the house is already done and shows him the rear of the house as well which again is all done in upvc windows plus doors the stay brite rep still persists with his sales patter about conservatorys etc.
At this point he invites the sales rep in and asks him to take a seat in the living room and 2 minutes later my sister in law arrives with a tape measure and aks the rep to stand up which he does and she starts measuring him up.
At this point he looks a little bemused and asks myself and her husband what is going on so he gets the reply nothing to worry about she is just measuring you up for a new suit as she is a tailor to which the rep replies but I dont need a new suit and they reply we dont want new windows or doors or conservatorys either now f off.
The rep shall we say seen the funny side and like an idiot quickly scarpered.
Funnily enough since then they have never had stay brite reps attend the house.
