IS it possible I wonder, to go into Bolton for shopping without being harassed by canvassers selling things?
Recently, outside the Bhs area of the square, I was jumped on three times in the space of five minutes. I had a booklet shoved in my hand. When I tried to give it back, the chap didn't want to take it until I shouted at him, then he yelled at me. After that I was pressured by two women looking for catalogue customers.
I was feeling stressed. I thought there was a law against this sort of thing? Do they have a licence to sell?
