While I can understand that being pestered by uninvited traders trying to sell things is a nuisance, particularly as one gets on in years and getting from the armchair to the front door is a serious matter, not to be undertaken frequently or lightly, this notice struck me as rather loud and unpleasant. Not something which added to the tone of the place.
Perhaps the occupant of the house was old and fed up and could not think of any other way to respond. Any more than we can think of any way to respond to the rising tide of uninvited phone calls from call centres which mostly sound as if they are in India or somewhere even further east and which are thinking up ever more tricky ways to sound as if they have some good reason to phone you up - which they don't.
Call centres which have perhaps been set up, perfectly legally, by some relative of Sir. P. Green.
